All Smoke & Mirrors!!

Ahhh........the local news you just have to love it!!

3rd Story in was about E-cigarettes and schools, with a slant towards they are bad and kids are getting hooked.

Next story.........

..... Somerset County Council has £21.5 million invested in Tobacco firms and Gloucestershire Council have £12 million. The council response on both was we have to look at investing for the best possible returns!! Go figure!!!

Yeah councils have had investments in tobacco for donkeys years. There was a news item posted last year. Pure hypocrisy

• A charity has urged the UK's advertising regulators to review the rules that limit children from being exposed to alcohol advertising on TV
• Children effected by alcoholic parents
• Children with intakes of 28 units per week
• Parents who misuse alcohol

Heaven forbid that we look at a major cause of family disruption, cause of cancers and cost to society.

Heaven forbid we get parliamentary representatives who remember that they are working on behalf of the voters and not for corporations.
