Govt should listen to someone like Tim Martin. Ok, so not everyone likes his Wetherspoons model but he's managed to expand and make money. He's full of criticism of government policy and how they sabotage an industry that contributes 100s of millions to the exchequer.

Before it's too late.

Presumably you want to get down there to see if you can buy the pub cheap then convert into flats : BOOMED!

My local 'Spoon has ale for 99p/pint right now. I thought the government had put a stop to that kind of fun?

I spend as much time in the pub as possible - what a selfless act

....anyone. I really don't care who. My pet airedale would have more of a clue of how to run a country than this lot.

But then so long as the house of commons bar is functioning I doubt that they will worry too much.
