There have been a couple of murmurs, I don't think they were UKIP MEP'S.

But as far as UKIP are concerned they don't want anything to do with the EU and suggest anything possible to try and make the EU look bad, and therefore receive votes from people that the EU have directly effected.

I'm not saying that Godfrey is incorrect, but just take anything UKIP say with a pinch of salt.

I did enjoy his indepth analysis of military smoking habits. It is always nice to know you can identify
The 'better' regiments by noticing who has nicotine stained fingers.

Yes your right just like Tony Blair promising a referendum on the EU and now David Cameron's 'forward commitment' to the same thing. You have to take it all with a pinch of salt. That is until Brussels bites and either bans vaping, or more likely imposes n,000's of civil servants and legislation upon it to increment the price to invalidity.

I believe Godfrey's piece bears veracity but will not attract attention as the EU ignores UKIP, as they do all opposition, ask the Cypriots, Greeks etc. (con't page 96)

It seemed obvious to us initially that the tobacco barons had used their not inconsiderable muscle to keep people smoking the real thing but no, the end game benefits 'big pharma'. If it is medical they can clamp their iron grip on state health systems to corner the market and sell the product at five times the cost.

Wow. Somebody gets it. AT LAST.
