Fighting pub closures. New Labour destroying our culture.

Paul Weller, Suggs and Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys have joined the campaign to save the traditional British pub, organised by the Rough Pub Guide, NME writer Paul

Moody and Heavenly Records' Rob Turner.

Local pubs are closing at the rate of 57 a month," they said. "Classic interiors are being torn down and local communities denied a focal point, to make way for flats and gastro-refits overseen by the disciples of General Gastro (Gordon Ramsay). It's nothing short of cultural vandalism. I mean, how many bands formed in Starbucks?"

The campaign has also drawn support from actor Rhys Ifans and Fatboy Slim's wife Zoe Ball.

Meanwhile more support from lower taxes on beer drinkers from Thwaites. Not that the New Labour filth MP's who as we all know profess to drink beer in support of the common man but prefer champagne to go with their brand of socialism.

Thwaites has contacted all pubs selling its beer to promote the campaign to their customers. The Axe the Tax campaign aims to get the Government to re-think the 30% duty levied on a pint.

“Beer sales in pubs are already at the lowest level for 40 years and these persistent and large duty increases are bringing the industry to its knees," said managing director Peter Morris.

“Axe the Tax has already received widespread support and every Daniel Thwaites employee is now involved, whether that be through their email signatures, branding on their company cars or livery on the delivery vehicles.

“We have produced literature for all of our pubs and all of our cask ales now carry a sticker supporting the campaign.

“It is crucial that this message is heard by government and hopefully those who enjoy the surroundings and atmosphere of the British pub will help us make a stand and protect the industry.”

New Labour a huge "gold standard cock-up", amoral, corrupt and evil to the core. Run by nomenklatura supporting a leader out of touch with reality.
