Airbrushing History: From political correction to thought control
Smoking a cigar? Can't have that now, can we?
Anyone who reads Professor Siegel’s blog knows that the anti-smoking lobby lie almost daily.
But for those who don’t, Harry Phibb’s latest article in the Daily Mail is a shocker.
In it he points out how our very history is being changed, doctored and manipulated to provide a politically correct past that we never had.
Incredibly, we are so now ashamed of one of the greatest heroes of our time that we have to doctor his pictures.
Winston Churchill may have saved us from defeat against a fascist enemy that sought to take away our freedom and our way of life, he may have lead us to a historic victory against all odds – but he’s not good enough for 21st Century Britain.
Because he smoked.
Pictures of him and other historical figures have been doctored to remove evidence of their smoking habit.
In the second world war we fought for liberty, choice and freedom.
We fought against a man who twisted and perverted truth, who sought to control the way people lived, who sought to remove the freedom of choice.
If Churchill was alive now, he would be shocked at the way society is treating smokers.
Banning smokers from hospital waiting rooms. Refusing smokers jobs. Inventing statistics to justify discrimination.
And rewriting our country’s history.
[For the original Phibbs article see: I’d like fewer smokers, but not at the cost of living in a society which has sacrificed truth and freedom.)

It’s not that we don’t appreciate Churchill. But if he was alive today he probably wouldn’t smoke – in those days people didn’t know about second and third hand smoke, and therefore can’t be blamed for inadvertently harming others. Today it is a different matter – smokers know they kill other people, yet continue to smoke as if they don’t give a damn.
“… smokers know they kill other people, yet continue to smoke as if they don’t give a damn.”
That’s just plain ignorance, there’s no excuse for that type of propaganda and bigotry. Where is your evidence that smoking kills people who do not smoke?
I suppose all people with mental health problems should be locked up because they clearly present a deadly threat to society?
