I don't have any faith in e-petitions or viral "forward this on to everyone" type things, but this is about BEER, and it's quite important, so I think it's worth a shot.
SAY NO TO THE BEER TAX ESCALATOR TO MAKE BEER MORE AFFORDABLE AND SUPPORT THE GREAT BRITISH PUB.
TO SAVE YOUR PINT THE E-PETITION1 NEEDS 100,000 SIGNATURES.
WILL YOURS BE ONE OF THEM1?
In today's Budget speech George Osborne announced the Government's intention to continue its damaging approach to Britain's beloved pubs as a further inflation plus 2% increase on beer will bring about yet more price rises at the bar, and further job losses in the sector.
Around 1 on every pint goes to the tax man in beer duty and VAT - we urge you and your beer drinking friends to fight back and sign the e-petition1.
The beer and pub industry supports almost 1 million jobs and contributes 21 billion to UK GDP. It's time to speak out against the Government to stop damaging pubs, real ale, and your pocket.
Please sign the e-petition1 and forward this email to your friends or share using the buttons below to save your pint and the Great British pub.
