Wetherspoons share price up 30% today, presumably on this news.
I suspect, though, that Wetherspoons will go bust if he does close its pubs, because their balance sheet looks rubbish, with £300 owing this year.

I would have a rare old time with my 25kg of Farmfoods meatballs in the freezer and a daily drop of stellas.

If boris had the balls to force them to close then those whinging about pubs staying open would have a point.
All you fair weather drinkers don't start crying into your shandy if your local closes due to lack of support.

All the leavers herd in the petri dish that is Whetherspoons. Even Goebbels would be proud of this final solution.
Have to admit, has a sort of idiotic symmetry to it.

“ Responding to suggestions that he should not be issuing pronouncements on how to deal with coronavirus, Wetherspoons boss Tim Martin said he was entitled to make public statements on the outbreak.
We’re a democracy aren’t we? I’m obviously not an expert, nor am I an economist, but i’ve got a view and that’s all I can say. People can accept it or not. Even if you’re not an epidemiologist you can look at what other countries do and weigh up what’s happened.”
The pub chain has said its 870 UK pubs will stay open but with precautions in place, such as no standing at the bar, frequent surface wipedowns and customers asked to sit far apart from each other where possible.“

So he is not an expert, but decides to keep pubs open because it’s democracy innit? What a twat, plus tulip beer there anyway.Tags: None
