UK Politics Thread (Part 3)

For what it’s worth, on the original topic, I think polling suggests that there is quite a strong majority of support for the proposal, with only Reform voters as a group having a majority against (and even then it’s 41-54).

We made that shift here about 6-7 years ago. Lots of anguish, owners screamed about their need for their ‘smoking porches’ (which in winter were basically rooms). Most of those have disappeared now.

Reading match day posts on here for example?

That’s fine, and if there was any way to encase smokers in a plastic bubble so that their habit only poisoned themselves and not everyone around them then let them crack on.

Thanks to Redalways. I am keeping my powder dry. Long Covid sucks but no excuse to be a dick.

Except Angela Rayner. Odious. Second only to Nicola Sturgeon. Bed for me. How many times ca I use long Covid as an excuse?

I’m glad all restaurants and pretty much all bars here banned smoking inside along time. I remember the ole days requesting non smoking section and still smelling those fumes. Whenever I go into a smoking bar (once every 3 years) my eyes just start to water non stop.

I remember a flight. Row behind smokers. Now lighting up on a plane?

In fact i flew air Malawi. Someone genuinely started a fire in the aisle to cook rice!

Such a shame, everyone knows rice cookers are the way to go. Simple, fuss-free!

And all the toilets broke. Not something I need to remember.

Luckily I’ve never been on a flight with busted bogs. But I did experience that in Jangetting a bus from Canberra up to Sydney. It apparently broke not long after they left Melbourne which would have sucked, but I was lucky as it was only 2-3 hours for me.

I’m surprised you don’t like Angela Raynor. She’s had a grim upbringing and fought her way to where she is now though hard work.

She’s entutled to a social life.

But, imagine the fume in here if it was Truss :roll_eyes:

Why? I’d imagine most people would rather she was partying than wrecking the economy…
