It would appear that this site is as empty a gesture as was this one.
Mr Clegg has decided to close the debate on some issues. He has decided that he will not look at reviewing either the death penalty or the smoking ban.
Interesting sort of parallel really, pairing these two regulations or laws. We all know that, in reality, discussion about the death penalty in Britain is little more than empty words. However, we also know that many other EU countries have ensured that people and businesses have the freedom to choose whether to allow smoking on their premises - or not. Britain, and British people, are not to be allowed to even discuss the issue. The debate is, apparently, over - even before it began. It seems an astonishingly illiberal approach.
There is so much to say about this but Mrs R is taking the easy route of merely pointing to the eloquent opinions of :-
Dick Puddlecote

Freedon2Choose
Frank Davis
It's worth, as always, taking the time to read not only the posts but also the comments.
