Apparently the super brains behind the anti smoking lobby are a tad miffed that the vile habit is on the rise again after the slight fall in the wake of the enclosed smoking ban. So they’ve dreamed up the sort of idea that fits in so well with all the other lunacy dripping like shit from the last dying days of this cancerous government.
Recruits are being sought for the new positions of well, I don’t actually know what they’re called, but let’s tag them as Public Imbeciles, who will be armed with carbon monoxide measuring devices and given permission to approach smokers at random on the street to ‘offer’ to test their exhalations. Apparently these irritating little shits will be trained to not approach anyone who appears aggressive, which should rule out most outdoor smokers who are becoming so pissed off with having to freeze their balls off when having a quick fag that they normally sport expressions similar to bulldogs chewing wasps.
I could pose some proper, grown up, rational questions regarding use of tax payers’ money, priorities, civility or the nature of state spite, but instead I can’t help wondering what will happen if a single adult unaccompanied by a child is seen smoking in a public park. Will the Public Smoking Imbeciles take precedence over the Community Warden Morons or vice versa, or will Imbecile and Moron have to slug it out to see who gets the chance to victimise them first. I do hope it’s the latter.
