Britain's sweeping new anti-smoking law will virtually eliminate smoking inside public places on July 1.
But the London Daily Mail reports the landlord at one Southampton pub thinks he's found a loophole — he's had his bar declared the official consulate of the tiny Caribbean island of Redonda.
He thinks his could be the only pub in all of Britain to welcome smokers — and he'd get a break on alcohol taxes to boot.
Britain's health department concedes that embassies are exempt from the rule. But the foreign office says Redonda is a territory of Antigua and Barbuda and not entitled to its own embassy.

Do you think the Republican party duped evangelical conservatives and co-opted them in order to get their own agendas accomplished or do you think the GOP is still the party of the Right?
Do you think GW Bush has noble or ignoble agendas in prosecuting the War on Terrorism?
Are you a clandestine agent of a rogue regime?
Do you eat turnips?

Second: No. I HATE turnips. What a waste of a root - at least now that we have other ways to dye clothe.
