Despite the industry continuing to struggle in the wake of draconian coronavirus lockdowns, on top of the already onerous regulations and high taxes levied against them by the state, Gwynne argued that placing further limits on pubs would cut down on anti-social behaviour and reduce burden on the National Health Service (NHS), The Telegraph reports.

The UK would be better off if Parliament locked up early and MPs went home.

It sounds like the government is becoming paranoid and wants to eliminate places where people might gather to criticize them. I think they are starting to fear their own people.

“The UK would be better off if Parliament locked up early and MPs went home.”
As we would be better off if Congress was locked up early and congress-CRITTERS went home.
We’re both doomed if we keep obeying the leftist jokes that represent us.
