I think I read yesterday that the expected beer price would be £2.10p per pint. I can buy a well respected pint from a small brewery for £2.00 ( £1.70p between 5pm>7pm ). My other locals charge £2.30p> £2.50p for real ale. Lager £2.80 >£3.00. Keg beer sorry dont know. I do know that these prices are appreciably cheaper than those charged south of Oxford and on into the capitol. My small town does not have a JDWs but if you pick the right pub you can still find a ( relative ) bargain.
The question is which part of the country will supply the bench mark prices ?
As for perks MPs have far to many and are called expenses which can amount to far more than some hard workers annual wage. Dont ask me to give the bas***ds any leeway.Any ordinary person would have gone to prison or at least ended with a criminal record ruining future employment chances had they committed fraud and embezzlement on the scale of many MPs efforts. For so long they have considered that the laws of the land do not affect them. Lets start with doing away with Parliamentary Privilege which has become a licence to abuse the system . I do not have faith in any committees set up to police the system. Would you let habitual criminals sit in judgement on their fellow wrong doers ?
