If, for instance, they removed VAT from energy bills, then they could rightly call that a brexit benefit but surely we had control of alcohol duty pre-Brexit.

Quote So we’re levelling the playing field, making the duty paid on pints in pubs up to 11p cheaper than at the shop. Do they really think that cutting 10 or 11p from a pint that costs upwards of £5 or more is really going to be noticed by people in the pub? People make a choice to drink in expensive fashionable pubs and pay maybe a pound more per pint for the privilege, than if they were to drink in 'crap' pubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate, fucking desperate but no doubt those who buy the Daily Express for the free DVD of 'The Cruel Sea' will be limping for joy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a Prime Minister be so blatant with untruths and get a way with it. Oh hang about, technically he's maybe correct about protecting the price of a pint, but it's shame almost everything else a pub sells is screwed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btb Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Surely this has to be the final nail in the coffin of Brexit the Glorious Opportunity. Quote The idea was that instead of complying with the long-familiar CE mark, showing that a product conforms to the EU’s safety rules, businesses selling into the UK market alone could instead apply for a homegrown red, white and blue equivalent – the UKCA. Ministers had already repeatedly postponed the date at which UKCA was meant to replace CE in the British market. Now it has been delayed indefinitely. There is nothing left of Brexit now just the wait until we eventually slink back in.... Anyone up for a sweepstake? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People make a choice to drink in expensive fashionable pubs and pay maybe a pound more per pint for the privilege, than if they were to drink in 'crap' pubs. As ever, the customer won't notice because it won't be passed on. Your £5 pint will still be £5, the retailer will keep the extra 10p. That will no doubt be of benefit to pub owners who are struggling but the idea that it is of any benefit at all to the customer is nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
