Re: Offensive?

I have heard the argument that Brexit will bring back the death penalty (and smoking in pubs) but pretty sure that's currently still illegal.

Is this what remainers do now? Sit around in wine bars and try to out do each other with the most ridiculous Brexit scare story they can conjure up? Really?

I've never smoked but was against the smoking ban in pubs. That argument seems settled to me - no point in forever trying to re-fight lost battles - I just don't see it coming back now. There might be a relaxation for private members clubs one day, but I can't see any demand for over turning the smoking ban. I should imagine most people who didn't want the ban are in much the same mindset as me, and may now oppose any attempt to scrap the ban.

The death penalty simply isn't a vote winner. The country is too split on the issue so most governments will think that its best just left alone.
