yes england i agree who want a german or a french person telling us what to do. we have got indians, blacks and muslims to do that instead.
morons euro sceptic wtf. u like toffy nose twits, and non eropeans telling you what to do? EU is the only way out of the whole uk has created for itself
@liquidreven europe put us in that whole learn abit about british and european polotics an ul find out laws are forced on us like the smoking ban etc and the reason we got so many forgners is coz were in the EU if we wernt they wouldnt be able to come here well not as many and we gotta pay somthin stupid like 45 billion each day to stay in this oprsive dictatorship
I'd like journalists to fact check these number rather than adding the disclaimer "this man says it's closing 50 pubs a week." It may well be true, but please do a little journalism and find out.
As for supermarkets selling alcohol for less than pubs, well yes they always have. You don't go to the supermarket for a pint though do you?
I doubt very much they sell for less than wholesale prices. How would they make a profit?
Like Scotland, the UK in its entirity should impose a minimum price per unit for alcohol and that should count for every place selling alcohol - supermarkets, pubs, off licenses etc. What's happening now is the supermarkets have been found raising prices in other products - in essentials like food, no less - to be able to keep the alcohol prices so low, it's ridiculous. The UK could easily pass that law without the EU "interfering".
I think you're right. Here in Holland the more traditional "brown" cafes (comparable to pubs) have been closing down in droves but more modern (and usually more expensive places) are cropping up like mushrooms. It seems to be a sign of the times much more than the cost of alcohol.
@megamarsvin yea man wtfs going on. when I first moved here 3 years ago weed costed like 2-3 euro less. but I think it has more to do with the dutch conservative government. I doubt the EU would be taxing people for weed They are arguing against the coffeeshops just as much as the EU. Thing with the Brits is theyr always been against the EU, and because of that get very little out it. Us dutch and Germans get way more out of it. We r all gonna be earning off of Greece for yeaaaaars haha

It's a sad day for the people of Europe.
Wars will be fought in the future so that nations can regain their independence from the tyranny of the EU.
It's human nature for people to want to rule themselves and not be ruled over by a foreign entity.

Pubs aren't the problem the people that go in them are!

Good video. Pretty fair and balanced, British EU skeptics could have their say in a fair way.
Something that would be entirely unthinkable of to happen the other way round in most of the EU skeptic British newspapers for example.

@Franzjosefderzweite We did not get our say, we were never given a referendum on the EU.

I think that it is more a question of changes in people life-styles than anything else that is the cause for pubs to close down. I might be wrong.

Pubs don't only sell drinks... they are a place for socializing and meeting... pubs deserve to be saved!
