Health and Safety

I heard Caroline Flint (who she? a Health Minister it seems) on the World At One yesterday saying "Public health is not about Dick Tax." Well you trying saying "dictacts" and see what comes out.
Then I heard a discussion about the "glorification of terrorism" clause bollocks on the PM prog today. Lots about the difficulty of defining glorification, but nothing on problems with defining terrorism. What a load of crap just so the powers that be and their ineffectual hangers-on can be seen to be "doing something" or "sending out the right message". What was wrong with incitement to violence? What a bunch of fucking assholes. (I know this sort of gratuitous swearing can only weaken any point I may or may not be trying to make, but it makes me feel a fuck of a lot better).
To end on a positive note, the dickheads managed to vote for a ban on smoking in public places. I never thought I'd say this, but as I now realise the extreme weakness of my own will power, Thank You House of Commons. I think it will help me stop smoking and it will vastly improve the chances of my children not smoking. Give me an Alcohol Free Premises Bill and I may live to pensionable age.
