Yes but why legalise a devise for giving up smoking, until someone's built up a 2 year smoking habit.

Because they're sending out a message. This way, it looks like your government is actually doing something about something. Sure, it's a stupid, useless, futile gesture that costs them nothing to enforce and has no real world benefits, but you know, it's the thought that counts.
I think legislation was neccessary but this is just daft.
And more likely evidence of how some lobby groups are too influential and not really representing their core values anymore.

Daft Punk have taken top honours at the Grammy Awards, winning five prizes including album and record of the year.
Not sure whether this should have gone on the Things that piss you off thread. Rewarding blandness is a terrible thing, you might as well give an Oscar to the colour beige.

Even the colour purple only got a nomination...
On a serious note, this is the trouble with irony.
We end up celebrating shit.
Literally just spent the last half hour on Facebook trading puns with my brother over this one -

Charlton have just signed a player called Anil Koc. Thankfully, most football fans are quite mature and will find nothing amusing in this name. 
Fatty's sister went to School in Switzerland, according to my local paper.

Looks like he's about to be assassinated by the seven dwarves.
Well, let's hope so, anyway.
He has the very definition of a punchable* face.
(*also kickable, stampable, shootable, and so on.)
That is a terrible suit
Hooray for the free press of the United Kingdom! Rufus Hound - unfunny Eddie Izzard / Simon Pegg Brundlefly is running as an MEP for the National Health Action party and recently published a blog post entitled 'David and Jeremy want your kids to die (unless they're rich)'

And both the BBC and the Huffington Post let it slide, in fact the Huff Post is leading with yet another anti-UKIP story. This what I love about this country's media, they moan about the Tories leading a campaign of division and here they are playing favourites when it comes to controversial political outbursts.
'But' you cry 'he should be allowed to say this stuff, even if it's blatantly untrue, inflammatory and libellous, because he wants to save the hospitals and besides, he's not like that nasty Nigel, he is a Nazi and everyone in his party is a murderer, I read it in the paper'.
So congrats duplicitous, liberal hypocrites, your blind eye turning has reached Herculean levels of achievement.
So a bunch of comics whose glory days are fading into the sepia living death of panel shows are running a protest party. RCP you demean UKIP who are viewed as a serious political party, who after years of campaigning may either be replacing Libs in a coalition government, and if not may write the music for the next conservative gavotte.
If Hound et al get an MEP seat they may be a story, until then why pay attention.

We're talking about you now right?
It's hard to imagine how £20billion cuts to the NHS will not result in more deaths.
