Selling cigarettes to "the ladies"

Slick video.

I am told that it was funded by an ASH-affiliated 'charity'. Click on the YouTube logo (bottom right) if you wish to comment.

CutFilms and T4 presenter Will Best are also responsible for this video. Sample:

Hey there, fellow talented, charming, awesome people. This delightful little mini-film is about smoking and how, well, if you've got a brain you probably want to avoid it because, I'm being honest, it's pretty bad s**t.

Patronising doesn't even begin to describe it.

"well, if you've got a brain you probably want to avoid it "

This is the kind of insult I talked about on the other thread that I wish TC would rein in.

If you've got a brain you'd not just swallow what massively funded self interest groups tell you - you'd actually try and find out yourself.

I do have a brain, actually, and as many know here I am an MA - therefore I proved it and I resent this insult but I also know it is all part of the deliberate "Denormalisation" hate campaign as I mentioned in that other thread.

Yet another case of slander but only we get criticised for throwing some of those insults back at those who continue to use them against us to further denigrate us with the public, lose us the right to earn our own living, segregate us in housing as they do in the USA and even force us (when we are not smoking) to distance ourselves from "decent" non smokers on a bus.

This hate campaign must stop. People like Stephen Williams and Simon (nsc) who support it should be ashamed of themselves.

There you go again..quoting me on something I haven't said. I don't support hate campaigns at all.

This really is talking down to the proles .. Nanny state. If we are supposed now to be so educated nowadays cannot we make up our own minds?

@George - I just have: 394 views/4 comments (surely the other 390 can't be ASH groupies or people who don't feel like punching the little git?)

@ StephenPeach - we are educated when it suits; we are nannied when it doesn't.

I agree with what you are saying though. Unfortunately, the political class, hell-bent on being career politicains (rather than true politicians) don't appear to give two hoots.

It will probably take a long while for our population to actually realise what's going on; history proves it - over and over again.

It's an appalling/hypocritical state of affairs that our highly-taxed legal citizens are being actively denormalised by Government-backed TC zealots in a country that so-calls advocates E & D.
