So, the pooves convicted of poovery have been pardoned.

[Sir C]

Pardoned? When they were convicted, poovery was illegal, so they had committed a criminal act, no? The law was clearly wrong, but it was the law of the time.

Does this mean I can now be convicted for smoking on an aeroplane in 1978?

They are also trying to make it illegal if you said Grab them by the P.... in 2005

Now if only you had said having a fag on an aeroplane in 1978

Works the other way with things that have become illegal since one committed the original act. It's not smoking you need to worry about c. It's all the noncing you did under the guise of "would you like to come and see the cockpit son" when you were a plane driver :nod:

No, but you have to live with the guilt that you might have made WES's clothes smell of smoke once. That is prison enough

Aaah, ex post facto law! In no way is that an absolutely terrible precedent to set.

He's a proper fúcking snowflake and no mistake.

Mind you, once article 50 has been triggered we get to chuck all the foreigners out, don't we? Mister Trudeau will no doubt arrange a state reception to welcome him home after his dreadful smoke-related ordeals.

Anti-smokers really do make me unreasonably angry. What instinct possesses them? Their instincts to me seem equivalent to those of someone who, if they see a man in the street taking a kicking from a gang, would join in with the gang rather than help the bloke on the ground.

In general they are the sort of people who become enraged at the thought that a chap might a) do something enjoyable, or b) live for a moment in freedom, unencumbered by a law or regulation. It's not about the smoking, it is pure choler brought about by seeing someone free to enjoy something.

70 years ago these people found gainful employ as concentration camp guards; now they must express their bitterness and jealousy at the expense of other misfortunates.

What a bizarre view.

I don't like the smell of cigarette smoke. I don't like breathing in smoke as I find it unpleasant. I don't like my clothes smelling of stale smoke at the end of the night.

That instinct, you mean? That's what you can't understand? Bizarre.
