Save Our Pubs & Clubs - the video
Wednesday, July 1, 2009 This morning, the second anniversary of the public smoking ban in England, the Save Our Pubs and Clubs campaign has released its first video. Filmed at the launch of the campaign in Westminster last week, it features Antony Worrall Thompson, Greg Knight MP, Mark Littlewood (Progressive Vision), Simon Esnard of the Butchers Arms in Luton, and me.
Over the next few days the video will appear on the following blogs, Iain Dale's Diary, Guido Fawkes, Devil's Kitchen and Dizzy Thinks. We will also be sending a copy of the video, on DVD, to MPs, MEPs and other decision-makers.
To view the video on YouTube, double-click on the image above. If you want to put the video on your own website or blog, the embedded code is available on YouTube.

Liberal Vision has a link to the video HERE. The first person who has commented doesn't sound very liberal at all!

Got me that time.
Well done to Simon Clark, Anthon W Thompson, Greg Knight, Mark Littlewood and Simon Esnard, brilliant video and good on you all for launching the Save our Pubs and Clubs campaign.
We need more of this sort of thing big time, to keep our plight and suffering in the public mind, not to mention the minds (if they have any) of the dick heads in govt who are so far removed from reality and who are too busy worrying about their own expense accounts to take their heads out of their asses to understand the suffering and plight of the ordinary, law abiding, tax paying, smoking public.
Keep in going guys!
I'm feeling more optimistic than I have since the ban came in.
Tom Harris has the campaign banner ad on his site - might he take the video, too?
