I wonder if, on reading them, he will see the depth of his hypocrisy or if he will dismiss them as being the rantings of disgruntled smokers?<br /><br />Given that his blogs written since that post make no mention of the reactions, I suspect the latter. Either that or he hasn't bothered to read them. Whatever, it just shows that (to rather mix my metaphors) despite the crocodile tears, the leopard doesn't change his spots.nisakimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563041282703559939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-74185096178536231672014-03-19T13:52:09.628+00:002014-03-19T13:52:09.628+00:00Like anon, I won't give blood and I ripped up ...Like anon, I won't give blood and I ripped up my donor card after carrying it around for 30 years.Jonathan Bagleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17331501151709216753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-43976116960365313272014-03-19T12:33:02.299+00:002014-03-19T12:33:02.299+00:00I don't want to say I told you so......but I t...I don't want to say I told you so......but I told you so..

Public health cannot insult us without a consequence. They must have done more harm for smokers wanting to give their "dirty blood" or blackened organs. Well done to public health I and many other do not want to play your hateful little games.

And now it's out of control, and he has no power to restrain it.<br /><br />He should have taken heed of history. This scenario (in various forms) has played out many times, and never with beneficial consequences. The urge to control others is usually strongest in those least deserving of that power. And they <b>always</b> abuse the power they accrue.nisakimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563041282703559939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-29691184331959406102014-03-18T18:36:15.277+00:002014-03-18T18:36:15.277+00:00It's ironic - something that has been denormal...It's ironic - something that has been denormalised has now become part of the furniture.proglodytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12145072961985094227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-19824948108757862992014-03-18T18:34:28.634+00:002014-03-18T18:34:28.634+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.proglodytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12145072961985094227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3585028625507474093.post-77598969100182469822014-03-18T17:15:37.020+00:002014-03-18T17:15:37.020+00:00"...
