Politics pubs Restore Britain smoking
Restore Britain’s “freedom campaigner” Montgomery Toms has called for indoor smoking rooms in pubs – 18 people dragging him in the comments
Right wing party Restore Britain – the people who think Reform UK are too woke – has been beefing up their policy positions in recent months.
Its leader, Rupert Lowe, has already revealed that they don’t believe having a British passport makes you British. And they’re keen for British people to remember they’re “Anglo Saxon”.
How one of Restore’s youngest members, Montgomery Toms, has detailed the party’s position on *checks notes* smoking in pubs, calling for pubs to have “smoking rooms”.
Our pub policy at @RestoreBritain is amazing.
Bring back smoking in pubs. Bring back liberty, and your right to do what you want on your own private property.
You don't have to go into a pub. You don't have to go into a smoking room. You don't have to smoke.

Of all the policies to push this is piss poor. I can’t think of any of my mates, right or left wing who’d give a shit about this. Time has moved on. https://t.co/PZFwdxLztY

Unlike this guy, I’m old enough to have worked in boozers when smoking was permitted and it was absolutely rotten! Thankfully back then we made a ton of tips (in soho anyway) but coughed our way through every shift. This is someting that will never be reversed and for good… https://t.co/05tep2fnqv

Can't think of anything more capable of accelerating the death of British pubs than turning them back into reeking lung cancer and emphysema incubators. https://t.co/I330W8d6I1

If I said fascists create a culture of death worship through hypermasculine self-destruction ppl would call me pretentious and roll their eyes.
Then far right parties will come out and say shit like 'lets turn pubs into cancer hotboxes again so we can feel like proper men' https://t.co/JPKv8DPUPn

As a smoker please don't do this, smoking indoors (and in general) is disgusting https://t.co/49woO2vv2F

You’re 21. You were 2 when the smoking ban came in. You didn’t lose the “liberty” to smoke in pubs because you were barely out of nappies. You grew up with smoke-free pubs. Stop pretending you remember a golden age of freedom you never experienced. https://t.co/GJg5XxRX0Z

Get rid of seatbelts, air bags are for wimps, asbestos is actually a very effective insulator, sweeping chimneys is a great start for kids in the workplace, ban the Fosbury flop, sharpen your own quill. https://t.co/cRArIdb0Aj

Being a policy advisor at Restore Britain must be such an easy job, all you’d have to do is browse the British nostalgia Facebook pages for ideas https://t.co/i0Uy6y5uP0

One of Restore's flagship policies. Alongside bringing back Ricketts, outside toilets, compulsory mustard gas for primary school children, and the black death.
