One law for us and another for them, The Labour Government has been accused of double standards for amending legislation to allow the Global elite to avail of smoking rooms during the contraversial G20 economic conference.

Dozens of heads of state, politicians and diplomats will be meeting at the Excel Exhibition Centre in Docklands, London, next month.

It is believed that laws have been changed to get around the smoking ban and provide specialist rooms that the visiting dignitaries can use.

Smoking in all enclosed public spaces and places has been banned in the UK since 2007 several years after Ireland.
