Simon. I wish you a very happy Christmas and hope that you have a few days rest.
Happy Christmas, everyone.
Merry Xmas Y'all!
Take it easy Simon, thanks very much for your tireless efforts throughout 2008. A very Merry Christmas to you.
By the way, my letter to Santa is here

Merry Christmas Simon and to all your readers.
May 2009 spring surprises like truth and honour being re-introduced instead of spins, lies and misinformation,
Merry Christmas Simon and all pro-choicers. Let's hope that 2009 is the year when common sense returns to British politics.
Happy Christmas Simon and to all!
May 2009 prove a turning point for smokers of the world and the smoking ban reverted and sanity prevails and govts just start using a bit of common sense!
Happy Christmas Simon and thanks for a super site. May I suggest that Forest's new year resolution should be to constantly and vociferously bang home the fact that MP's can still smoke in their enclosed building. Mental home patients, old folks, and pub dwellers should have the same choice.
May I wish you a Happy Christmas and an even more effective New Year.
I'm a bit late - was working over Christmas so have only just seen this. Hope you had a lovely Christmas Simon, and all the other friends on here. I echo the hopes above for 2009. May it be the year that sanity returns to politics - a little integrity would be nice too!
Merry Christmas to everyone and all the best for 2009.
Forward and upwards !!
PS Anyone in the Todmorden area over the new year please feel free to tap me up. You will be made most welcome,
Best wishes to you Simon and thanks for a clarion challenge to p.c.propaganda.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas - sorry for late posting, recovering from flu!
All the very best to everyone here and elsewhere in their efforts to denormalise politicians and their puppeteers and bring a little much needed sanity back into the lives of us ordinary folk for 2009 and beyond!
Take care all.
Lyn
Happy New Year when it comes, to all.
Thanks Simon, for all your efforts. In fact thanks to everyone who is doing their bit to fight back.
Some might like to start off 2009 with this

Joyce -
Thanks for the F2C link.
Let's just hope that the TICAP conference receives the press and media attention it deserves - ESPECIALLY from the BBC.
And a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all Freedom-Lovers !!
Thanks for the F2C link Joyce, if I can manage a city break in these recessionery times at all we will head for Brussels to help the body count in January.
Does anyone know what the smoking ban is like there because if it was strictly verboten I couldnt afford to waste my money going mental around a city I have no interest in, trying to have a smoke on some street corner that I'm forced to do at home anyway, its a break I want not a retreat.
Happy New Year to All!
There's an excellent video here as well on YouTube regarding the TICAP conference - only short so very easy to watch.

For those who do not know, it is The International Coalition Against Prohibition. They are holding the world's first conference at the EU Parliament Buildings on 27 and 28 January.
The item on the agenda: Smoking Bans and Exposing the Lies.
This should get global media coverage, so if our MSM channels choose not to cover it, then they would look rather silly in my opinion.
Happy New Year everyone.
Ann, I'm not sure what the ban's like in Brussels. From hear-say, people have said that there's more choice than over here and that there are signs on the establishments that allow smoking. Having not been myself, I would always check first though as the situation is changing all the time.
Perhaps drop an email to your MEP. He/she should know.
I'll be reporting from the TICAP conference and I hope to get as much press interest as possible.
I'll also look forward to meeting other pro-choicers who can make it on Jan 27 and 28.
The TICAP conference is the first of it's kind ever, and shows a commitment that is real, with hopefully great possibilities.Everyone who believes in this fight should try to be there, and support this milestone in numbers. All the blogging in the world would not come close to actually being there and being counted.
It's strange that Forest is not involved, or is it? Actually I don't believe it is, as the Tobacco companies would not approve, NOT wanting to get involved in a genuine action, as they have proved over and over, they have no interest in a fight. That is the reality.
If people on this site really believe in their posts then it's time to put their money where their mouth is.

That's great news Pat. I'll be looking forward to hearing your reports
me too Pat. Zitori- the tobacco companies dont care- probably better they stay as far away as possible those days IMO!!
