Churches in England, smoking signs

I Wonder if They Will Ban Incense?

By Elaib Harvey, Brussels Journal

Monday, January 8, 2007

Not having anything better to do, the British government in its wisdom has decided that churches must put up no smoking signs.

Apparently the godless, witless pack of heathens have obviously never been into a church. If they had they would have noticed that they are places of worship. People don't smoke in churches as it would be considered both rude, and somewhat sacreligious.

Every church is being sent a 24 page glossy document telling them about why they shouldn't allow people to smoke in church. These comments from a couple of civil servants just typify the small minded, petty, vindictive and hidebound types who govern us,

"Churches and other places of worship are not exempt from the ban and we have provided the same literature to all affected enclosed public places."

The Department of Health said: "Churches will be included in the ban as they are enclosed public spaces. Signs will be prominently displayed at all entrances."
