Smoking Ban Injustice
« on: March 02, 2010, 06:11:30 AM »
Has everybody read about the Nick Hogan case...?

Quote
There has been a fair amount of comment in the blogosphere regarding the six month jail sentence given to Nick Hogan for flouting the 'no-smoking ban'.

Outrage has been duly expressed, here, there, and everywhere. Perhaps we can do better than just express outrage?

Nick was actually jailed for non-payment of the fine originally imposed for a 'mass smoke-in' on the day the ban came into force in 2007 in his pub, the 'Swan and Barristers' in Bolton. He no longer has that pub. He was fined again when council inspectors walked into his present pub and discovered a group of customers smoking - Nick wasn't even on the premises.

As usual, Leg-Iron does an excellent summary of it here.

Follow the links and go and donate something to the fund - even is it is only a quid.

Especially you Nick you rich chain-smoking git!  lol:

Quote from OH:-

"I have just spent an entire day and 600 miles in a car with Beauty and the Beast.

Conversation snippet on M1 near Nottingham

?right, so if we get stopped now by the Police, we have:

Expensive video cameras
?9000 in cash in a suitcase
The address of a Cat B prison on the Sat Nav
Substances
Mask, wig and gloves in the boot
A fit bird (Emily Nomates), fast asleep in the back
A posh talking unshaven walrus in the passenger seat (Tory Bear)
A swivel eyed loon driving.

We might be late after explaining that little lot. By about six fucking months?

 ;D
