“The decision today by the European Parliament’s EPP, ALDE, ECR and EFD political groups to delay the vote on the Tobacco Products Directive is a great shame. The vote on the Directive was scheduled to take place in Strasbourg next week but will now take place on 8th October.
“All the proper procedures for the vote had been respected and the timetable had been in place since January so the move is disappointing.”


“We must now make sure that the vote goes ahead on the 8th October, and that there are no more delay tactics.


“Around 570 children between the ages of 11-15 start smoking everyday in the UK and we cannot justify a delay in acting on this.”

Oh gods we must SAVE THE CHILDREN!!! Her main objective with the TPD is to get the regulation on ECIGS passed, she doesnt give a TOSS about the kids and has NO common sense about WHY kids start smoking in the first place!

Great news. What she doesn't say is the it was originally scheduled for october anyway. God the mere mention of her name makes my blood boil.

 

[Mawsley]

Then why doesn't she direct her fucking attention to preventing 570 children a day from being able to buy cigarettes?

 

[Tim]

This woman is IN MY OPINION at best a misguided, ill informed fool, at worst working to a hidden agenda from which she may well profit personally.

is she the same one who allegedly started smoking because of green fag packets?..

 

[dansolo]

No, that was another idiot, Anna Soubry.

 

[Tim]

No, that was another idiot, Anna Soubry.

There you go I never could remember the names of folk I have zero respect for

There you go I never could remember the names of folk I have zero respect for

Oh, there's a name for them alright.

 

[Tim]

Oh, there's a name for them alright.

Collectively indeed there is, i think it's either a insincerity of politicians or a conundrum or parasites.. Take your pick

They were named after a series of very nasty rocks that lie just below the water's surface mainly but can be seen at low water. They sit between St. David's on the mainland and Ramsay Island just off the coast. They are marked on OS maps if anyone has an OS map of St. David's.

 

[ScottChensoda]

Both treacherous and aptly named I'd say.
