Every year, the beer tax escalator increases the tax on beer by 2% above the rate of inflation, thus adding considerably more pressure on the British pub, the cornerstone of many of our communities. Removing the beer duty escalator at the next budget will help keep beer more affordable and go a long way to supporting the institution that is – the great British pub.

 

Going to the pub is a core British tradition and so is enjoying great beer. If you want to continue enjoying your fresh pint in your local pub then it’s crucial that you support our campaign to grind the beer duty tax escalator to a halt.

If we don’t show our support for the great British pub, we risk losing more pubs and more jobs within our local communities.

 

Support great beer in the great British pub and sign our e-petition now..... British Pubs Need You.'

I would prefer to sign a petition encouraging our useless government to instigate a meaningful educational programme about responsible drinking. To many of our town centres have become no go areas thanks to profit driven breweries not caring one jot about the consequences of their greed.

As ever the pubs take the brunt of problems caused by greedy supermarkets,corner shops,off licences.Proper Pubs in general control drinking and drinkers and people knoe each other.Town centres are full of so called Pubs who are allowed to charge as little as they like to people who are already full to the brim before they come out. Its quite simple 1) Stop Brewers making strong beers 2) Limit Off Sales instead of letting anybody sell-there is no need to prove a need any more.3)Minimum price per unit would force prices up in supermarkets. I ve run Pubs for in excess of 30 years and they are places where people who know each other can come in and talk bollocks and socialise.BLAME THE OFF SALES SECTOR not us!!

This thread should actually be on the General Conversation forum,not Football forum,it may get more hits on there too.

Too many pubs/bars nowadays in town centres offer stupid offers on shots etc to entice people in,watch them get paraletic,then moan when they throw up all over their toilets.

Publicans are no longer thought of as responsible owners of pubs,many in chains are simply there to maximise profit,not to provide the service they once did.Don't get me wrong,there are decent pubs with decent landlordsw but these are dwindling as the large chains buy the pubs.

Locally to us,you have to travel out into the sticks or to the smaller towns to witness a decent pub
