Tobacco companies rule Scotland via London

Its no secret that Tony Blair, like his Tory predecessors has many friends in the tobacco industry that PAY for and part-OWN the "UK" Government and of course the Labour controlled Scottish executive in the pseudo Scottish parliament.

With Blair now NOT banning tobacco advertising in the so called "UK", the spineless, English loving Scottish Labour executive says, we hate the tobacco companies, but we feel Blair(Westminster) can do a better job combating their influence.

I.E. we'll sit on our fat London loving arses while Scots kids and parents die from smoking related illnesses because we collect tax, and tax is more important than lives.....
