I see the Government are to retrain up to 10,000 local authority staff, to monitor pubs and clubs to prosecute smokers.

I know people who cannot afford to live because of the burden of council tax.

Now comes this.

The councils are sacking their care workers and hiring crowds of smoking cessation officers to go around pubs.

This government has completely lost any common sense.

Now it is the motorist who is feeling this government spite.

Do you want road pricing so every journey you make is recorded by Big Brother?
