So the EU want to effectively ban E-Cigs and not so much as a peep from our government or MP's. When they want to cap Bankers Bonuses, the MP's are fighting for TV air time to express their outrage at EU interference.
It doesn't really make me laugh, it makes me quite sick actually.

Got to protect their mates over inflated incomes and ego's haven't they.
The arguement is many will leave to work in Singapore or New York etc etc.
good let em f#ck off, it's not like they are doing a great job of it.
Plus when they leave it creates a new job and we need new jobs.
I can't see the downside myself.

Don't get me going on bankers bonuses. Just been listening to Stephen Hester (RBS) that if they don't pay them they'll lose their best people. Well if their 'best' people can lose them £5bn last year I think someone needs to take their head out of the sand. I know I don't understand it all, but surely some simple logic has to come into this. Cut them out for failure, and let them use 'average' people. Can't do any worse... or can they!

What they really mean is the public school boys will all p#ss off and they'll have to start promoting us mere commoners into positions of prominence and power.
Although the "losing their best people" bit is a myth and scaremonger tactic. If the job exists, then someone will fill it.

Jessie J undoubtedly got paid for Price Tag.
The Government of your choice will undoubtedly adopt the same stance.

What it means, is that it doesn't effect them, if a load of MP's or their mates vaped, it would be completely different.
