Since 1997 and with the ever rising taxes, duties and business rates imposed by Labour has created a perfect storm for small businesses of all sorts.

Sadly what is also notable is that those pubs that have opened are owned by large corporate chains like the dire JD Wetherspoon. These are supermarkets in pub clothing, rather than traditional pubs run by a host who knows his/her customers and who has a pride in real ale.

This is just one town in the UK, the situation is happening in every town across the land.

Remember a vote for the champagne swilling socialist scum of New Labour, is a vote for higher taxes and more closed pubs.
