The Stony Stand-off
Wednesday, 20th July 2011
Tonight a very significant debate will take place in a small Buckinghamshire market town that could have serious consequences for all of us who believe in simple freedoms and choice, writes UKIP Leader Nigel Farage.
Defending of basic liberties does take you to some strange places. Not that Stony Stratford is in anyway strange. It is its very normality that makes it slightly odd. But it is to this old market town on Watling Street, part swallowed by Milton Keynes, that I visited on Saturday to play my part in the battle for freedom. And tonight Stony Stratford Town Council will debate a proposal that could lead to smoking being banned in every street, park and public place in the area.
