I don't believe it: Nigel Farage saying that it is acceptable to set minimum prices. What he said is exactly what he fights against in EU parliament. An elite deciding for us. Here he decided what we have to consume or not and where we have to do it. People express their choice in a free market by their consumption. Introducing artificial roof or ceiling prices is a way to lead people to do not what they want but what you want for them. Nigel, as you say so well: "Let the people choose!"
The planned rise in VAT will affect supermarket alcahol-buyers the most. Perhaps this will encourage people to go to pubs instead. Every little helps.
Hmm Nigel, you believe in the free market or you don't, you definitely lost points with me for that regulate the supermarkets selling booze statement... If the free market is to work the people will choose, people know it is cheaper in the supermarket than in a Pub, same as food, it's cheaper to buy the ingredients and cook it yourself or buy a prepaid meal than to go to a restaurant, that's not the motivation...
@Iain1962 But I do agree that the Pubs have been treated unfairly, the smoking ban is an awful thing, some people don't like smoking, they can have non smoking pubs, other people do, so why can't they have smoking pubs, it's ridiculous that the government at any level can dictate our behaviour.
Nigel Farage is a great speaker.
If hard core Labour voters heard this talk, they would vote for him in a heartbeat.

Sounds like commonsense to me. Take back our power for making these decisiones from Brussels.

I'm more likely to die from a cold then smoking related illnesses, having to go outside for a smoke and to socialise...

The smoking ban is totally unnecessary. If the EU hadn't banned patio heaters, then people could smoke outside of pubs.

Smoking room out the back seem fair enough to me. We'll have no pubs left soon.
Partial ban or give pubs the choice - you don't have to go in. I like it. Hes a good lad
