Closed petition Save the Great British Pub

Closed on 10 August 2012

In the Lib Dems and Tory Election 2010 Manifestos both parties promised to save the Great British Pub. David Cameron even promised a pub friendly government yet so far the Coalition has raised the duty above inflation and 6 pubs are calling last orders everyday and can not afford any more tax and redtape. The pub and alcohol trade industry brings in an estimated 11.4 billion a year and has been a unique part of the British culture for centuries and contrary to some forms of media they are not like a Wild West Saloon and need to be preserved but will need help from the government please sign this petitio.
