People seem to be consistently in favour of banning anything that they don't personally partake in.

If that's your takeaway then you're an idiot. People can smoke all they like, 50 packs a day if you want. Go for it.

But not near me. In your own house.

Yes in your own house, but not in your garden or with your windows open, because that's too close to me!

You sound ridiculous.

Where are you getting this from? There's a big difference between in a beer garden full of people and in your own garden.

If I can smell it it's too close to me. You explain to me how it is ridiculous to demand people respect social boundaries Unless of course you're a person who believes they should be allowed to do whatever the hell they want because they feel like it, in which case you can go walk off a short pier.

Please do better

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
