Our friend in Holland, Wiel Maessen, brings glorious news to the ears of all non-believers. I say non-believers because many are they that believe ASH are invincible as they spread their lies, their fabrications, their manipulated statistics and their cherry-picked junk science around the globe. They don’t care how many economies they endanger for they are now on a mission to maintain their elegant status & lifestyles.

ASH are in such an illustrious position that they don’t even have to do any of the real work! Studies, surveys, well they all come alike to ASH as either can be contrived to show exactly what they want them to show within a couple of days, such is the army of volunteers in the anti-smoking brigade. They can fall back on any number of ‘smoke-free’ organisations to gather their insidious results of fiction. Proof of just how many there are is simple-just look at the numbers (603) attending this UKNSSC junket in London next week! At £375 per head there is some serious money wastage going on here just so that they can backslap each other and plan even more devious means of tobacco control.

But ASH are getting worried as we see Sheila Duffy publish the biggest load of twaddle ever in the face of a challenge from the Scottish Licensed Trade Association (SLTA). Scroll down to the multitude of comments and observe the derision heaped upon the ASHite!

Sheila Duffy has well overstepped the mark with this latest tirade-the comments section destroy her and ASH’s credibility beyond belief but they will keep marching on as they do – oblivious! But maybe not for much longer.

ASH Holland have just received a massive ‘slap in the kisser’ as their funding has just been slaughtered by the new government! I’ll repeat that folks: – their funding has just been slaughtered by the new government!

Dutch News nl tells us that the Cabinet are to cut all funding of quit smoking ‘help avenues’ and dietary matters as they obviously feel that these are areas appertaining to individual choice! Amazing to hear those words from a government in this present climate-I salute the intelligent souls who sit in power in the Netherlands. Of course, the anti-smoking brigade are up in arms at this proposal for their cosy little game plan has been seriously hammered into submission at long last.

‘Binnenland Nieuws’ state that ‘Stivoro’ (ASH Holland) will no longer receive funding for cessation programmes-a move that they, of course, call ‘penny wise/pound foolish’! No surprise there then folks. The ministry want to let the people look after themselves so obviously, in Holland, nannying must cease as it is costing the Dutch government too much money.

We have that problem here too as we’ve already seen that 603 ‘delegates’ are marching in at enormous cost to the taxpayer this week but what they won’t discuss is the fact that every 10,000 newly unemployed will cost this country £1.53m per week in Jobseekers Allowances alone-never mind all the other handouts that will be required. Add to that little lot another £12.6m per DAY for the priviledge of being part of the EU Soviet Bureaux and you can easily see why we need to cut down on certain expenditures!

The Dutch led the way with choice for smokers and now the Dutch Government have led the way with COMMON SENSE, something ASH UK are severely short of! Still, I have no doubt that within 5 days they will have a survey rolled out to prove that the Dutch government has just ‘consigned its people to a life of pain’ as the Dutch people will now have to pay for ‘stomach acid relief’ from chemists. Bet there’ll be a few in ‘Stivoro’ suffering from bellyache now!
