We filmed a man who had very calmly drilled a hole in the front of his plastic visor so that he could smoke through it while on the job.

Business of the House: Future of Buses (8 Feb 2007)

Denis MacShane: My hon. Friend mentioned the environment. We have all sat behind buses that are emitting filthy diesel smoke.

Two young girls were smoking and examining their fingernails. One of them eventually got up and told me that she did not have any brown bread.

Opposition Day: Manufacturing Industry (6 Apr 1998)

Mr Denis MacShane: ...our creative industries, but we should not forget that steel exports amounted to four times the exports of all the music industry of the United Kingdom put together. British steel workers do not smoke dope or snort coke, they are not called Rumbaba and do not dump pails of water over the head of the Deputy Prime Minister, but they are working hard for Britain, just as our car workers are,...

Trade and Inward Investment (6 Dec 1996)

Mr Denis MacShane: ...ways, Singapore represents the Fabian Society re-created on earth—a world of the Webbs with slightly better food and drink. Whether one wants and whether the British people would be prepared to put up with Singapore's level of regulation on smoking, drinking and crossing the road, I wonder.

Mr Denis MacShane: I am also an admirer of much that has been achieved in Singapore—it is strong on discipline, clear about chewing gum, utterly opposed to smoking and very keen on short hair. They are all values which Singaporeans enforce with some vigour. Of course, Singapore is a society shaped by the great secretary of the Fabian society at Cambridge, Lee Kuan Yew. For some of us who know that...
