CAMRA slams beer duty rise as “false economy”

CAMRA today slammed the Chancellor's decision to yet again increase excise duty on beer by 1p a pint as a mistake that will hit Britain's pubs hard.

The 84,000 member strong consumer organisation had called on the Government to freeze excise duty as the decision to increase tax is likely to result in higher prices, less customers in pubs, and a drop in revenue for the treasury.
CAMRA Chief Executive Mike Benner said: “This is a false economy for the Government as we may now see an exodus from pubs after beer prices rise.

“This is bad news for the millions of people who enjoy British pubs but will now face a higher cost to visit them. Therefore trips to the pub will become less frequent and the revenue the Government makes from VAT will suffer."
**So I guess a quick poll of pub drinkers would come up with these results to the following question?

Q/ Is Gordon Brown a thieving cunt?
No: 0%
Undecided: 0%
Yes: 100%
