    You think that's bad:

    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      Oh, and fags are less than €6 a packet here )although on Saturday I accidentally ended up in Luxembourg and they're even cheaper)...Now you know why Farage wants German citizenship

        Great idea. Why do people still smoke in this day and age anyway? (says this smug ex-smoker)

          That would be true if smokers didn't rely on the state for their fooking health care. You really are very stupid indeed.
          Hard Brexit now!

            Don't be too smug. I'm an ex smoker too but it's a myth that your risk of lung cancer falls. It remains elevated forever. Basically smoking is like a death escalator, the point at which you get off, your risk remains at that point. It doesn't decline.
            The good news is that your cardiovascular risk does decline.

              Smoking is banned by most landlords (me included) in the private sector so why not in the public sector?.

                That was a party political broadcast by the Dutch Party for Neighbourly Love, Freedom, and Diversity.

                  Because the taxpayer - everyone in the UK - pays for social housing including smokers.

                    And their lung cancer treatment, gets paid by the tax payer as well
