I doubt you have paid in anywhere near what you've taken out.

The maths says its bankrupt now, irrespective of the smokers contribution, because the scumbags in the 'nasty party' are lining it up for privatisation.

Re: Effect of Government's disability hate campaigns

Well, no .... but I must have it wrong. I'm going back years when we had a thread on here about COPD and lung disorders and I've got it in my head UJ said he'd used to smoke.

I'll extend me wrists for a slap now from the man himself ... as I'm probably wrong.

Re: Effect of Government's disability hate campaigns

Even when I smoked I thought it a great idea to ban it in public places, and to be honest it was one of the factors that contributed to my decision to quit..

Re: Effect of Government's disability hate campaigns

Hi

Many years ago I was seriously injured.

Lost my job, on disability, two crutches and a leg brace.

I was a big, fit, heavily muscled person before that.

Never had an issue with being picked on or called a spastic.

I went down to just over 9 stone.

I was seriously abused by local yobs and my kids were also bullied because of their Dad.

It was a real eye opener to me, but I never blamed the Government.

I blamed the scum who thought it was fun to pick on those less fortunate than themselves.

It took me 2 years to recover, there was nothing that I could do in that time, the Police were just not interested.

The bullying of my kids affected me far more than any bullying of me, I was their Dad, it was my job to protect them and I couldn't.

It was a very traumatic experience.

I recovered, I have a long memory.

I would be very surprised if they ever bully anyone disabled again.

I am absolutely with you on this UJ
We can also travel on buses and planes sit in cinemas without some fag addict belching filthy smoke over all and sundry including children.
