Plain packaging doesn't work! New evidence goes online

We've launched a short online ad campaign to promote the latest evidence about plain packaging.

You'll find the ad on the following blogs:

Archbishop Cranmer, Bishop Hill, ConservativeHome, Diplomat magazine, Talk Carswell, Guido Fawkes, Harry's Place, Labour Uncut, Labour List, Left Foot Forward, Liberal Democrat Voice, Liberal Vision, Mark Pack, Newsbiscuit, Pink News, Political Betting, Political Scrapbook, PublicNet, Standpoint Magazine, Tim Worstall, UK Polling Report.

Last time we advertised via MessageSpace Labour List asked for our ad to be removed.

I'm told the editor always kicks off about smoking-related ads so let's see how long it takes before we're banned – again!

Update: Didn't quite make it to lunch before Labour List pulled our ad.

Thankfully Left Foot Forward and Labour Uncut have a rather more liberal attitude towards free speech.

PS. Someone has just said to me, "Bloody stupid. It's as if they don't trust their readers to make up their own minds."

Ironically Labour List's Twitter profile states, "Democracy means government by discussion". But only when it suits them.
