Not had the Tories in charge here for years, and they still get the blame for all our woes. <br /><br />And what have we got in this socialist utopia, a country totally dependent on the State and still blaming everyone else. Our lefty pals at Holyrood are even banning it or making it compulsary these days, its like animal farm gone mad. And that includes booze,fags and pub rules. And you cannae blame this Con/Libdem team for that lot of crap legislation.Fitalassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091725511821029654.post-15859980655807505942010-08-27T21:29:15.023+01:002010-08-27T21:29:15.023+01:00Well yeah, of course it's the smoking ban.
B...Well yeah, of course it's the smoking ban. <br /><br />But if we gloss over that and go with the bollocks nonsense that supermarkets undercut pubs, why don't we look at the tax that contributes most towards the price difference between a pub and a supermarket.<br /><br />Is it beer duty?<br /><br />Nope. That's a fixed amount per unit, and so all things being equal reduces the price differential.<br /><br />It is VAT. Simple maths tells us this.<br /><br />PS, the Tories have merrily just hiked VAT to 20%, in line with <a href="http://www.eureporter.co.uk/story/vat-harmonisation-will-bail-out-governments" rel="nofollow">what the EU told us to do.</a> This will of course increase the price differential between supermarkets and pubs, and so the rate at which pubs shut will go up.<br /><br />PS, I hardly go to pubs since the smoking ban, so I quite like it if beer is cheap in supermarkets.
