Highly regarded blogger Dizzy
I wonder why? I've not read him before, but what I did read today was rather dispiriting:
Repealing the smoking ban is never going to happen, but it is far too arbitrary and ought to be amended so that individuals who choose to can go somewhere, like there pubs and clubs,..
'There' pubs? He meant 'their' pubs, presumably.
And why isn't the smoking ban ever going to be repealed? I'd repeal it like a shot. And if enough people want it repealed, it will be repealed. I detest the kind of mentality which starts out denying the possibility that something can ever happen.
Of course, everyone makes spelling mistakes, and perhaps Dizzy was just having a bad day. But then I noticed another one at the top of the page, 7 days old:
But right now I must go an experience the joy that is the south circular
I'm not at all sure that smokers really need the support of someone quite so careless and slapdash.
One good thing about Simon: I might not always agree with the content of what he writes, but 99.99% of the time he at least spells it correctly.
The bloggers can blog all they like - do they represent the majority of the public who do not politically blog?
A resounding no - they certainly do not. People are waking up now with an election looming. There's millions out there making sure that they do.
The draconian ban was one step too far - only zealots and die-hard antis agree with it.
I know this, the people I talk to know this. If HMG do not want a repeat of the Euro elections, then they need to do something very quickly.
I certainly will not be voing for a main stream party, as their manifesto currently does not cater for my needs.
By the way, responding to the poster who, once again, used the analogy of smoking in a pub and pissing in a swimming pool on Dizzy's blog, there is indeed, as someone also said, no comparison.
1) Swimming pools are pissed in all the time by kids (and probably some adults too).
2) The water in most swimming pools is only changed once a year. By comparison, the air in pubs is changed thousands of times a year.
