Anti UKIP protest 'Tell Farage to Fek off' - April 23rd Gateshead

[Citizen66]

We could go on forever if we start bringing other drugs into this conversation. Let's just stick with fags for now, agreed?

Don't derail the topic... which was actually about UKIP!

Haha yeah I was thinking that when I wrote it

Ye, it coincided with "recession"

Yeah that and massive competition from cut price chains and city centre bars offering cheap drinks offers, things like that. The pubs that have largely gone to the wall are your typical local ones, which is sad but it's no different to high streets having revenue sucked out of them by online shopping and big, out of town shopping centres. Everybody wants to, rightly, lament the cut throat brutality of capitalism but we as customers have a responsibility by spending a quid or so extra on your pint and drinking less. Most people don't do that though and then get upset when pubs or local shops close without realising they could have prevented the closure or, at least, prolong its life for a bit.

Of course it was local pubs that didn't have the chain to subsidise them.

Most normal countries you can still smoke in pubs

are you saying people who work in pubs get a say ?

I work in a chemical plant . If theres something nasty in the atmosphere Im required to wear a face mask, for 12 hours at a time barring breaks . I dont get a say in it, even though I chose to work there knowing there would be . Why are they superior to me and not forced to wear one ? Why am I not allowed to say that stuff shouldnt be in my workplace ? Wheres my say ?

Because your conditions are bad so should everybody else's be...Casually Red, the selfish conservative proudly leading the race to the bottom.
