The Swan, York (Chair, Campaign for Pubs) PubsAdvisoryService gr8MusicVenues I watched all 4 episodes of #PostOfficeScandal last night back to back and cried several times

The behaviour parallels with #GreatBritishPubcoScam : abuse of corporate power, bullying, coercion, predatory isolation of individuals, intimidation, the sheer sociopathy, are identical

The #PostOfficeInquiry is an extraordinary and triggering watch.

Tied #pub lessees everywhere will feel successive #pub co execs should face a similar Inquiry to answer for the comparable (& ongoing) #greatbritishpubcoscam

The sociopathic corporate mindset/culture is identical.

Essential reading #ukpubs

PubsAdvisoryService Ed Davey J Mark Dodds FRSA 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 big bugner💙 “Thugs in Suits!” Yep, exactly the same in the Pubco Sector

Ed Davey was just as bad when it came to tied pub tenants, the letter Alan Bates wrote could have been written by J Mark Dodds FRSA 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 The Eagle Ale House big bugner💙 (many publicans) and like Alan Bates Ed and his predecessors publicans were ignored. Listen > youtu.be/heWfHr5AReI?si…

Labour plans to 'revamp' empty pubs - good news but it doesn't actually say as what- pubs or something else? #pubs

In 2022 we gave evidence to the BEIS Select Committee as Campaign for Pubs
The session also featured senior pubco execs who got a severe dressing down from Chair Darren Jones MP for brazenly neglecting to bring evidence of their tied pricing as requested.

You wait till it finally gets exposed - #pubcos a bigger scandal than the #PostOfficeScandal

Welcome back and thank you kindly.
😊🍻

You are spot on about political neglect. For years, the government has done sod all to support the licenced trade. Booze in the supermarkets is cheaper because of the imbalance in the tax system, so when times are hard, and less free cash, drinkers stay at home. Pubs get screwed

It's a beauty!
(The tree too...)

Industry friends and #pub lovers in general.
If you are in wonderful #Newcastle or within reach of the #Tyneside / #Northeast on 26th April this free-to-attend event will be well worth your time!

This sounds really positive Keir Starmer. The current lot don’t get it or don’t care.

If you are serious, listen to #publicans , NOT the BBPA who represent global brewers & investment fund owned/offshore pubcos. #Pubs need:

🔺Lower VAT/rates
🔺Planning protection
🔺Tie reform

If you're a pub, bar or bottleshop who have previously used Eebria, and you like the convenience of ordering lots of different beers from one supplier, please do have a look at Beer Paradise beerparadise.co.uk (disclosure: I'm an owner/director)

It is crucial to Protect Pubs #SaveOurPubs that were built at the heart of their #community .
Once destroyed they can never be replaced.
Even a modest #micropub like this can only get approved against the odds, and with highly restrictive conditions.

Wonderful to see!
Roscoe Head Pub is an absolutely cracking pub, and Carol is a bona fide pub campaigning heroine!
