Strangely, it turns out that smoking isn't actually banned in enclosed places. The palace of Westminster, and more specifically the MP's common rooms still allow smoking. So what about the rights of those employees who work in the house of commons bar. Why aren't they entitled to work in a smoke free atmosphere?

Because MP's are self serving hypocrytical ers, that's why Double standards, don't get me started on double standards And the reason why they chose not to apply the restriction to themselves? Because it's historical. me, wasn't fox hunting somewhat historical. I'm apoplectic with rage at these s. How dare they, how dare they. Bastard asshole s want burning at the stake.

What's next? fishing? 4X4's? greyhound racing? horse racing.

I'm not sure it was a deliberate ploy you know. It's just that it's a Royal residence, not a pub.

He does have a very valid point though, if it's good enough for us, then it's good enough for them.

They should lead by example

You reckon Tony said to Gordon "I know, we're not unpopular enough, let's really PISS the smokers off now"?

I don't think at the moment that they could give a flying f what the electorate think - the arrogant bastards reckon they've got several years to win the hearts and minds of the sheeple back again.

They've done gorn and made me use the F word now ma I had to get that off my chest before I bust a blood vessel.

The double standards just make me seethe with rage. I'm a bit better now, just been for a theraputic but why should the MP's be allowed to smoke? What about the health of the staff who work in the palace of Westminster. Are they just expendable drones?

The bitch on the TV actually smiled as she smugly said "it's historical" Well change history you stupid bitch

When they ban 4X4's you can bet they'll be exempt the s

Grrr, that's all for now, I'm in real danger of popping something here

I seriously think there could be a chink in the armour of the legislation here. I reckon it won't be hard to prove that smoking is 'historical' in lots of premises. Especially pubs called "The Cross Pipes". There's one local to me, wonder if they are up for a scrap with the MP's

I am a smoker and I shall be struggling when the ban is enforced. However, being forced to quit to me is probably a good thing longer term and something that I think will encourage me.

However, the major gripe I have is that its another example of a nanny state and you are quite right, where does it end?

Couldn't agree more. I tried quitting new year but due to a total lack of willpower only managed a week. It's the pub that causes the problem for me- I enjoy a pint and a

Apparently a group of backbenchers have tabled a motion to extend the ban to the House of Commons as well.
