perfidy

Sixty-five years after winning the Battle of Britain, the sceptered isle has fallen to the fascists. In this case, the health nazis who have banned smoking across the entire nation, save only in alcohol-only pubs and clubs. Of course the government is reserving the right to ban smoking in those places as well. I imagine they're planning to wait and see if the British accept the first round like sheep, and then take away the rest of their rights.

"Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt says she is "proud" to be introducing new smoke-free legislation for England - despite widespread dismay at the Government's proposals." Goering was proud of the Luftwaffe, too.
