True, but on HIGNFY there have been many panelists with 'baggage' who have...

Good point - and it does seem there is a different level of test for that programme - whether that's appropriate or not.

Worst excuse ever. But great headline.

So she ate a spicy Dorito and then "suffered a severe asthma attack at school a week later". And the Guardian printed this cack?

[Salsaboy]

What do you expect? It's the Guardian. It'll be in the Mail next week.

Passive smoking. Another of the Nanny State's big lies.

Have you been taken in by the lies and obfuscation of the health fascists (who are paid by Big Pharma) to promulgate these falsehoods?

You are aware that it's climate change denying, fox hunting, Cameron loving, Spectator columnist James Delingpole you've taken a shine to Mr. Lush.

[Jah Lush]

I hadn't. He sounds a right cunt. Still, it doesn't detract from all the bullshit we've been fed by the health fascists being paid by Big Pharma.

[steveo]

He also sometimes tells the truth and is funny

Roy Castle anyone? I could not go into a pub or club until the smoking was banned because it made me ill. My sinuses would swell up and my eyes would water continuously. I would then have trouble breathing properly. There was no way I was going to live my life on medication for this because it was totally avoidable. So the ban was welcome for me. E-cigs do not affect me...

Also, having a coffee outside a caf? is totally spoiled by chain-smoking twats...mostly foreigners who are still smoking because they were not bombarded with anti-smoking education as we were. This is another health crisis in the UK waiting to happen when they all get copd and lung cancer.

I hope they do prescribe E-cigs on the NHS then at least the government will get the prescription money from it, and the NHS may not crumble and totally die in 20 years time.

And....as for diabetes...why not close down all the unhealthy crappy food shops (you should see the size of school kids who eat this crap) and slap a massive tax on sugar to pay for the NHS?

Roy Castle wasn't just breathing normally, he was up on stage (smoke rises) taking big breaths to full his lungs.

Not disagreeing with your point, but Roy Castle was not typical.

I thoroughly commend the calls for US gun control and would like to think this might make those with the necessary clout over there will take notice, but doubt it. Beyond tragic

[DulwichFox]

It's strange that criminals in the US. cannot buy guns in gun shops but can freely buy them at gun fairs.

Does anyone remember the journalism about Greville Wynn in 1963?

[edhistory]

That's a relief.

She's not a catholic.
