Pubs have sadly been closing by the thousands since they started jacking up taxes on alcohol starting in the 1990s. Tragic and was basically vandalism and a way to prevent local power from coordinating against central power. Time was, people in the pub would hear about local miscreants, such as wife beaters, paedos, or rip off artists, and they would go and give the culprit a fat lip. A minor beating is a major deterrent when the entire neighbourhood is united in delivering the punishment. The same event writ large would await tyrants today, hence they used covid to shut down the pubs as a handy feature of their latest power grab.
There should be an immediate end to alcohol taxes where the drink is served in a glass in a pub. That would revitalise the entire country, but it wont happen because it is not in the interests of the commies.

Well stated.
This is yet another example of how [they] are killing our culture, our history... all whilst adding taxation without representation to boot.
It's high time England have their own Tea Party
