Patio Heaters - BAN THEM

[diddyman]

The Labour MP for Brighton wants to ban people from having gas powered patio heaters cos they're "bad for the environment."

I'd like to ban the Labour Party as they produce more hot air than anything else in this country. cnuts.

I dont know whether to laugh or cry now. I see Labour had the forsight to ban guns before they started with their sociofascism.

Ahh yes, Brighton, where the Green party got 22% of the vote at the general election (IIRC). Cool place but it doesn't half attract some loonies!

Im thinking serious about buying shares in the major producers of patio heaters..could be a shrewd move..

Patio heaters used abotu a dozen times a year on average.



Blairs/Prescotts/Browns fleets of Jags, planes, Helicopters, used everyday........So whats worse?

I honestly thought this was a piss take thread at first. It just goes to show what a load of freaks the Labour party is made up of.

[Yugguy]

They'd better ban me then for cooking meals like I had last night which contained amongst other ingredients cabbage, broccoli and onions, because I subsequently produced the gaseous output of a small town.

Whilst not supporting any ban - I do think they are one of the silliest ideas ever.

The laws on unintended consequences reveal themselves again....
Labour has fallen foul of this law more times than you can shake a (cancer) stick at (removal of private pensions tax relief anyone? League tables? Waiting lists? Increasing numbers of civil servants? Increased dependence on speed camara's? Invading Iraq? (I won't include Red Ken's Congestion charge as a labour folly) Emission based company car tax? Investment in "green" sources of power rather than t&t'd nuclear power. Reduction of armed forces? ad nausuem.......) Poor Tony everytime he tries a quick fix something leaks elsewhere.
Perhaps instead of short "consultations" inviting "opinion" proper studies into causes and effects should be commissioned? Mayhap that way, instead of drilling more holes below the waterline to "let the water out" we might fix the hull?

Liberal Democrat environment spokesman Norman Baker agreed that patio heaters were a "waste of resources" and "doomed to failure". He said: "If I see patio heaters I try to make the point in a barbed to the person using it. "I'm not against people smoking outside, it's better than them smoking inside, but I think they should enjoy the bracing air around them."

What a ct!

[Tuska]

In Ireland (where they have the smoking ban) pub gardens are now wall to wall patio heaters as people spend their winter evenings chugging on their ciggys.

If labour really want us to stop smoking then they WILL have to ban patio heaters as well.

I for one will be buying shares in patio heater companies.

I agree. If its that cold outside you need the heating on why not fk off indoors!
What is romantic about sitting outside freezing your ball off.

Cos smoking indoors is about to be banned.... Hence the patio heaters.
