Deborah Arnott of ASH

The boss of everybody's fakecharity was on Radio 4 this morning, discussing the Advertising Standards Authority's decision to stop a certain anti-amoking ad from being shown before 7.30 pm.

It all trundled along in its usual highly predictable fashion, what stood out was Ms Arnott boasting about the fact that her husband, as a child, had once taken all his father's cigarettes out of the packet and written 'cancer stick' on each one.

There's not much point kidding ourselves that we'll ever get to beat Ms Arnott and her husband to death with their own faces, but let's just hope that her father-in-law gave his son a good thrashing, the smug little shit.

NB, this is not an April Fool's joke.

Did you mean "faces" or "faeces"? Either would be appropriate.

ASH employees are all seriously deranged. I can't find the link just now, but Arnott once replied to a letter which dubbed them as 'nagging non-smokers' by saying that most of those at ASH were actually EX-smokers.

Explains a lot.

Did her husband mean to write "candy stick"? Ah, those were the days...

It's a strange thing to be attracted to in a husband. You see adverts for GSOH, but never "WLTM an unbearable prig with no respect for anybody else's choices or property".

I guess that as a child that he was a scared that his father might die. It's not nice to scare our children. But I aggres that he should be aloud to kill himsf however he likes. Darwinism at it's best! Death to all smokers and fear on their children
