Stony Musings
I’ve been continuing to muse about the events over the past few weeks at Stony Stratford. I think it’s been a significant defeat for the antismoking juggernaut. For imagine what it would have been like if Paul Bartlett had won … Continue reading
The People Have Spoken: 148 – 2
A remarkable event took place yesterday. In a church hall in the little town of Stony Stratford in Buckinghamshire, 150 men and women were asked to raise their hands if they supported the proposals by councillor Paul Bartlett to ban … Continue reading
BBC Reports Stony Stratford Protest
I was going to write something about how the BBC hadn’t produced a report on the Stony Stratford protest, when I found out that they had. And also that I’d got a whole 2 seconds to myself of the one … Continue reading
A Grand Day Out
Well, that was a grand day out! I just wish I’d checked the weather forecast beforehand. Because it absolutely tipped it down all morning. And I arrived half an hour late at Stony Stratford, and stepped out of the car … Continue reading

Over the past two weeks or so, the smoking-libertarian blogosphere has been in ferment about councillor Paul Bartlett’s proposal to ban smoking in all public spaces in Stony Stratford. The initial response of Dick Puddlecote and Leg-iron and others seemed … Continue reading
Black Death at Stony Stratford
I came across this last night. THE Black Death may have been eliminated 500 years ago, but it’s coming back to Stony Stratford this weekend. King Henry VIII and his entourage will come face to face with ragged villagers, their skins … Continue reading
Showdown in Stony Stratford
I had hoped, last weekend, to be able to make it to the flashsmoking event in London to mark the fourth anniversary of the smoking ban. In the event, I never found out where it was going to take place, … Continue reading
