Chandais

@Raulmac04 @SkyNews Yes

@chandais75099 @SkyNews So what you are saying is the person actually smoking won’t be punished?

Everyone born after 2008 to be banned from smoking news.sky.com/story/everyone…

@DefectivePigg @Howlingmutant0 I see he's now getting into the hard stuff.

@Raulmac04 @SkyNews It is more likely to result in fines for the sellers who do not check for ID. So yes, EVERYONE will be ID'd when buying cigarettes.

@chandais75099 @SkyNews Ok so I will go back to my first question. What will the punishment be for someone from 2009 onwards being caught smoking??

@salty_alaskan @pmarca Interacting with people in general is a core nessecity for financial success.

@pmarca Which ones aren't? I'm continually amazed at the naivete exhibited by the investment class. How's it possible so many of you simply cannot see the deep and pervasive corruption across all society and government? Is it because optimism is a core requirement for financial success?

Which other prominent nonprofits and NGOs are doing this?

@Raulmac04 @SkyNews Politicians have just introduced a law banning people born before 2009 from smoking cigarettes. WTF are you talking about?

@chandais75099 @SkyNews No idea what you are talking about. I am not sure someone having a cigarette that was born in 2009 has got anything to do with politics

@GeneralRipper22 @NimkoAli It always was the progressives who were the colonisers.

@NimkoAli What right has a govt got to "educate" anyone and why is it desirable?You sound like an imperialist telling native tribes how they should live and "civilising" them.I wonder what you'd do to people who take their children out of school if you had your way. Sterilise them perhaps?

Can we talk about Tyson Fury and his elder daughter: Thankfully she won’t be able to marry at 16 anymore, that’s a law me and Priti Patel changed. But she was taken out of school at 11, justified as “the traditional Traveller way”. Tradition does not override the law. The fact this can still happen, and even be glorified in this country, is deeply troubling. Girls in Traveller communities deserve the same protection and opportunities as every other girl.

@IPPR What is needed to make solar panels?

Ed Miliband is right: the transition to net zero is the only way to protect the UK from a never-ending wave of international conflict driving up energy prices. Closing the Strait of Hormuz won’t push up the price of solar. Trump invading Greenland wouldn’t make wind more costly.

@hughhenry_12 @martinmccluskey @BritishGas Have you ever tried dealing with government mandated regulators?

@martinmccluskey Dealing with companies like @BritishGas is a nightmare. They don’t listen to customers, they fob you off with half promises and lies and you can never get to speak to someone who will actually help. They conveniently destroy records so you are at a disadvantage when complaining.

Today we’re launching the final report of the Ofgem review. We’re making sure consumers are put first in the energy market. A stronger regulator will act as a consumer champion, focus on economic growth and prioritise net zero for the very first time.

@pricey_life @Ed_Miliband Its simple, just reduce your level of energy used and force others to do the same.

@Ed_Miliband Thank you for sharing these despite the torrent of abuse you always seem to get. We need a mix of power sources, and this is a long game sadly. Nothing will magic bills down in the short term except if individuals simply use less electricity themselves. Otherwise we invest.

Today we've set out a package of measures to go further and faster on clean power. For a summary of what we've announced, read on...🧵 newstatesman.com/speech/2026/04… 1/10

@Raulmac04 @SkyNews Will people want to enforce the law against you the way they dont to people who dont politically threaten them?

@chandais75099 @SkyNews How?

@Raulmac04 @SkyNews It all depends on your politics.

@SkyNews And what will the punishment be if caught? Apart from no punishment?

@MrBumpa @SkyNews Every one.

@SkyNews What taxes are they going to put up to replace the billions of lost taxes?

@SkyNews Hello incoming black market to get around digital ID.

@AcademicAgent_X Has this not always just been short hand for "You sit at the bar for hours and listen to the regulars talk", but without the waiting? Similar to what Aragorn does at the Prancing Pony. A communicative bartender would know where the immediate blue collar employment could be found

I’ve met Harry Kane’s wife dozens of times in CRPGs over the years, usually at the tavern. You know IRL, I’ve never paid for a drink and “received rumours”, this only happens in computer games.

@kunley_drukpa @Babygravy9 "Flood the zone with propaganda for both men AND women"? - The Minister in charge of this program when it was suggested by an aid

Iranian diplomat makes a Jane Austen reference, British news presenter doesn’t get the reference

@AcademicAgent_X Taught both, but only to demonstrate how expansion of brackets would work using real interger examples in the first instance. Then they substituted with letters...

Refuse to believe Americans are this retarded. This is Japanese propaganda.

@BBCNews Just think, 20 years from now.havig to ask someone 1 year older than you to buy cigarettes

Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed bbc.in/4cEfrbq

@BBCNews I wonder if there are any smokers who look back and think, "Yep, I'm glad I got addicted to this at a young age." (Margaret enjoying her 40th birthday)

@baylissbaghdad "The Man" will continue inviting them whether the public are encouraged or not.

Is it right that the British public be asked to go on welcoming new arrivals, if those people or their descendants later use their place in the national family to agitate for special economic benefits from Britain for themselves or their countries of origin?

@Babygravy9 The CQC brought in measures that determined how many staff a care home MUST employ determined by number of residents and their needs. This made most local smaller homes unable to pay sufficient wages for the level of care mandated, whilst also being forced to restrict rents.

Yeah, about that. During the pandemic, pretty much every single employee—except management—was replaced in my grandmother’s care home. They went from being local girls with a smattering of Poles and Eastern Europeans to entirely Indian. Every single one. That was a deliberate choice by the owner of the care home. I was also told that the owner of the care home owned property in the town and was putting up his new Indian workers, one to every room, so that he was making back a significant proportion of their wages in rent.
