Health Fascists strike again

Totalitarianism comes in many guises as it seeks to snuff out individual liberty. It isn't all jackboots and Nazi swastikas.

The latest manifestation of intolerance comes from the Royal College of Physicians which is pressing for smoking in private cars to be banned. Why should I be banned from this activity? It is not a question of safe driving: if it was, then I could see the point of it. Listening to the radio can be even more distracting when driving, so should we ban all forms of 'in-car' entertainment?

The proposed ban on smoking in cars is aimed at preventing children from inhaling passive smoke. The reason advanced by ASH for not simply banning smoking in cars with child passengers is that it will make enforcement harder. Clearly cretins rule. Every day I see people driving and using their mobile phones, often with children in the car. Enforcement? It's a joke.

The RCP would better spend its time rooting out the disasters at some of our killing field hospitals. Drum-roll for Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Basildon and Stoke-on-Trent where death stalked the corridors unhindered.

The next step must surely be to ban all vehicles from the road to save lives either from vehicle crashes or vehicle fumes? Well of course we wouldn't be so daft....or would we? The health fascists are a miserable shower and probably won't be happy until we are all stopped from drinking and smoking and force-fed our five veg a day.
