That is largely the point... "Look you can buy booze, oh you have a job and can't... Well that's just sad, be thankful you have a job."

Whoever comes up with these regs has a PhD in irritating the hell out of people.

Why is cooked food still prohibited at level 3? I mean did they really just knuckle down.

Wait did they change the regulations again?

We know the women's league are a bunch of retards... They can join as a friend of the court on the governments side... It's a given they will hurt the governments case if they do.

we cannot be silent when other people are spitting their misogynist and racist venom bile on Minister Dlamini-Zuma

The waddle league speaks

Im thinking the greatest most entertaining outcome from tobacco court will be a ruling saying she is within the law to ban cigarettes due to covid health waffle, but can't discriminate and needs to ban EVERYTHING linked to covid health deaths, ie everything that contributes to diabetes, obesity, hypertension etc etc etc... then we can sit back and watch the high and mighty anti smokers reeee endlessly over their lost snacks, sweets, coffee etc

"The president must discipline members of the MCT who fail to persuade their colleagues in the meeting and decide to go out to canvass their personal views in public. It is a high level ill discipline for Minister Tito Mboweni to announce publicly his personal view on the selling of cigarettes and tobacco-related products after the MCT has taken a final decision [sic].

What a fine democracy.

They sound screechy and hysterical. My guess is they smoke Labrador.

That depends on the government views

We refuse to sit back and do nothing, while the leadership of the country is under attack from tobacco lobby groups and some racists in society. The country has come a long way in building a non-racial, non-sexist and prosperous society, we run the risk of reversing these gains if we allow such right-wing elements to go unchallenged in our democracy.

Such self-awareness.

They'll probably be able to swing their cr@p with 500 signatures.

Days slowly come and go.
I'm dreaming of freedom
She's seeing other rules
Emotions they stir
The cigarettes are gone.
The drinks are long
And I am left while the lies fall.

Did you think that I would try,
Belive your song?
Do you know what it feels like,
smoking RG?
I'll try someone new

(Swing) Swing, Swing from the tangles of
Cyril is crushed by a former Zuma
Can you help me find a way
To puff on again.

Bread cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet smokes do arise
She knows she was wrong
The corruptions are old,
They bend, they fold
and so do I to a new source.
