Community pubs are 'stronger than ever', according to new research. No excuse there for cutting alcohol duty then @hmtreasury https://t.co/d7klGDodsT— Colin Shevills (@cshevills) January 25, 2019
Great news! But what are community pubs? They are, as the Morning Advertiser explains, 'pubs owned as community businesses'.
Cool. And how many are there in the UK?
During the period, 14 new pubs opened, bringing the number of community pubs in Britain to 15.
Wow, fifteen pubs are 'thriving'! Let's put alcohol taxes up!
Meanwhile...
With pubs already closing at a shocking rate of 18 a week, according to the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) figures, the future of the great British pub is very much in question
On second thoughts, let's cut business rates, cut alcohol duty and repeal the smoking ban.
