UKIP line up for Freedom2Choose Meeting

Members of Northern England Freedom2Choose will be meeting this Saturday 11 April at The Painters Arms Public House, 35 Bradford Road, Drighlington, Bradford, West Yorkshire. This regular event attracts visitors from throughout Northern England who are concerned with the erosion of civil liberties and choice, particularly in relation to the smoking ban.

MEP Godfrey Bloom (UKIP Yorkshire MEP) will be amongst the speakers attending the meeting, which commences at 2pm, along with Jason Smith (UKIP Bradford) and Nick Hogan (UKIP Chorley) to offer support for the Freedom2Choose national campaign to amend the smoking ban. Godfrey Bloom MEP is expected to speak at 4pm.

Pro-choice group Freedom2Choose hold regular meetings throughout the country and now boast over 4.5 million supporters. Freedom2Choose are a non-political, unfunded, voluntary organisation seeking to demonstrate that suitable alternatives exist to accommodate smokers and non-smokers alike.

John Baker, Freedom2Choose Secretary and organiser of the event states, “The landlords are delighted that Godfrey Bloom continues to take an interest in the draconian smoking ban, as the ban has devastated the licensed trade. They are interested in hearing the UKIP policy on the smoking ban and are expecting more visitors than usual at this gathering. All new-comers and guests are more than welcome to attend.”

The current smoking ban legislation in force within the UK is one of the most stringent within Europe and Freedom2Choose is campaigning for a reform to place the UK more in line with the majority of the other EU countries.

Up coming By-elections

BIRCHILLS LEAMORE Ward Walsall
Walsall UKIP campaigners have selected Elizabeth (Liz) Hazell as their candidate for the by election taking place in Birchills Leamore. Liz has been a long standing member and activist for UKIP in Walsall, she is also on the UK Independence Party West Midlands MEP candidates list for the European elections which are to take place on June 4th 2009.

Liz said about this by-election, which is due to take place on Thursday 27th November, "I am one of seven candidates standing in this election, as a UKIP candidate I am the only one who represents a political with the only policies to tackle the problems the people face. None of the other parties will take Britain out of the EU which now makes and imposes upon us around 80% of our laws, UKIP is the only party with a realistic policy of taking Britain out and restoring full democracy. Because of this we can stop Post Office closures, plans for road pricing and identity cards, all of which are being imposed upon us from the EU. The others may talk about what they will do, but that is as far as it goes, the power behind the throne, the EU, will instruct them otherwise."
