Linda McAvan calls on the Council to back preliminary deal on Tobacco Directive

[Sassy]

S&D MEP Linda McAvan said:
“It is a good overall compromise and I call on member states to back the deal. The new legislation will introduce safeguards to protect users of tobacco products and will close any gateway to attract young people with misleading flavours and shapes imitating lipstick or perfume.

The woman is utterly fucking BONKERS!

Shapes imitating lipstick or perfume?!!

How many straws are there left to clutch?!

We have to continue to fight this because it's a total fucking stitch up, not a compromise at all.

This is just a massive 'WTF'

She's my MEP, and she's always seemed like she's had her head screwed on when I've met her. Perhaps not, though.

For a relevant photo, here's me with Linda McAvan and her husband along with various others...(don't judge me on the politics, also, if you're interested, yes, we lost that by-election)

I won`t judge you on the politics, however I might judge you on the fact you never took her out while you had the chance!

Also, what the actual fuck is a "misleading flavour", when it's at home? Banana that's made of cherries?

 

[Vern]

its legalese for "rowntree's randoms" or skittles "confused" range

 

[Phantom Diablo]
