I didn`t think this would happen so quickly. I was in Nottingham about a week after I read this article. Stayed in a Travelodge because there
is a Marston`s Pub next door. Lovely IPA and Abbot Ale on the pull pump. Not this time. Pint of Abbot please. Sorry, Sir, No beer in Kegs.
Went over to the Navigation instead.

Prices per pint 6€ and 7€ respectively. Doesn't seems that expensive though because they are always served as half pints. (25 cl)

Every aspect of our daily lives has now been consumed (parasitised) by corporatism and shareholder 'value' at any cost to society. At any cost. All products and services of our economies. Streamlined for shareholder 'value' at any cost to us. And, apparently, according to 1-dimensional binary muppets, I'm a 'communist' for having eyes wide open. You couldn't make it up. Lap it up and cry me a river. Lap it up and cry me a river.One we're not paying a dodgy premium for for more and more sewage to prop up foreign 'investment' funds parasitising society at any cost. You really couldn't make it up. Now they're about to take control of the biggest economy in the world. And they try to blame immigrants? Be more than afraid. Be brave. Be

And any clowns who imagine the Nordics are our allies need to do some very basic maths. Even silly little flag-waving Nordic states on the periphery of civilisation are taking the piss out of Britain. Maths. Open eyes. 1-2-3.

Sounds like fabulous news, they will presumably stop the sickly sweet abominations that are Wainwright ales as well as bringing back Jennings!!!
