I have to say, right up front, that I smoke and have for over 50 years. No lectures, please.

MPs have backed plans to make it illegal for 15 year old, or under, children to buy cigarettes. Big wow! I thought it already was.

Let’s move on.
The previous Government were moving legislation through to gradually increase the age people could legally buy tobacco products from 16. The current Government has decided to take up the ball and run with it.

Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, argued the Bill would reduce pressure on the NHS.

” Smokers are more likely to need NHS services, be admitted to hospital, drop out of the workforce and onto Welfare, and need Social care years earlier than if they didn’t smoke”

What a sweeping generalisation, totally without any kind of reports, studies or statistics.

Where the fuck is his proof that smokers are “more likely” to do any of the things he generalised about.

As I said, I’m a long term smoker.
I have never been admitted to hospital for a smoking related illness.
I have never dropped out of the workforce, unless taking early retirement counts.
I’ve never been on ‘welfare’
At 70, I still don’t need social care.

The legislation is also pushing through the issue of stopping teen vaping, which I think is ironic as vaping was heralded as the new way to stop smoking, not that long ago.

All this throws up loads of questions about what happens if everyone stops using tobacco, not the least where the replacement revenue, levied by the Government, will come from?
Vapes, oh silly me, there’s a crack down on them, too.

What about the cotton producers and workers? Will they be ‘welcome here”, as we have taken away their livelihood?

Anyway, I’m off for a fag ( outdoors, in the Tikki Hut)

Now, Mrs Norman sometimes gets a wimmins magazine called Red. Anyroad, she recently bought the latest issue (January 2025). Normally, this wouldn’t interest me in the silghtest. But, this time. it did.

On the cover is a beautiful woman, So, naturally I thought that she would feature inside the magazine. However, the lovely cover girl is nowhere to be found. All the models inside the magazine are black, black, black and – just for a change – black.

I – as a red blooded normal male – find this very unfair and totally underhand. Raising my hopes up (and other things), only to have them dashed. The cunts don’t even tell,you the cover model’s name. A total swizz.

Unlike people in some countries, British people are animal lovers and detest cruelty. But it isn’t only household pets that need protection. After a hundred years of campaigning by animal organizations, the UK government has finally banned the live export of farm animals for further fattening and slaughter.

An RSPCA director says “I’m still haunted by the smell coming off an export truck and the calls of the animals inside. I’m haunted by the eyes of young calves through the bars of the truck and their mouths sucking at the metal bars as though trying to find comfort. And I’m haunted by the sight of sheep packed too closely into trucks, their legs poking through the gaps and their wide-eyed fear visible through the wooden slats.”

When they sent gold records out into space on Voyagers 1 and 2 in 1977, containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, they ought to have depicted what nauseating scum populates this planet and the appalling way they treat defenceless animals. The cruelty of factory farming is still prevalent in this country. If you care, click on the link.

are cunts.

🎶Three ducks, not laying,
Two total cunts 🎶
Hilton Rose retirement home in Walsall had five ducks that staff had reared using an incubator and ready-to-hatch eggs as pets.
One night in late October, two youths (scumbags) climbed over the fence, broke into the duck shed and stole Pablo, Gary and Dog, all males.

The residents, all elderly, enjoyed watching them play in their pool. The ducks would climb into laps and fall asleep. These ducks were pets.

Now, I’m going to be charitable and say perhaps these two twats fancied theirselves as Eco-warriors, liberating animals back to their natural environment, but I think the actual reason for the theft was not altruistic.

What on earth were these cunts thinking? What was going through their minds? I mean, come on, ducks?
I hope they’re identified and prosecuted, not that they’d get much more than a wrist slap.

Meanwhile, staff and residents are distraught, and probably very worried about security, too.

Way to go, you scumsuckers!

This bloke has to be the most sinister looking individual I’ve ever seen. He couldn’t look more demonic if he had black scleral lenses in his eyes and sharpened incisors.

His current net worth is estimated to be around $300 million by being a highly successful “preacher” and manipulating the terminally gullible, the chronically stupid and the last option desperates of society. His rants are gold standard tragic entertainment value, but he looks like a demonic entity wearing a silicone mask and trying its best to look human.

In short, if I suddenly woke up at 3am in the darkness and saw him standing at the foot of my bed in the moonlight with that alien-like cold stare, I’d accept that Satan had visited me in person and I’d flood the floor with liquid shit.
