Great minds think alike
Wednesday, June 25, 2014 at 9:20 Last night's Channel 5 News report with a soundbite from me.
There are more reports in today's newspapers. Several, including The Sun, Times, Daily Telegraph and Scotsman, include a comment by Forest.
Today's Sun has an editorial with the headline 'Cigs ban mad'.
Yesterday I told journalists:
"In 2035 it could be legal for a 36-year-old to buy cigarettes but a 35-year-old might be committing an offence."
Great minds think alike!
PS. Just done an interview for BBC Radio Newcastle from a noisy Starbucks on London's South Bank. Couldn't hear myself speak!

Using children again! Pass over the bucket please.
As a proposal, it's a fascist's dream. Not only is it illiberal in the extreme, but it will create a generation which will effectively be forced to carry proof of age throughout their whole life to do something perfectly legal.
I have an aversion to banning things, but I'd be willing to make an exception for the BMA.
