PM grilled on Ban Darling Campaign
Licensees across the country are rushing to join the MA-backed campaign to ban the Chancellor from every pub.
Following Alastair Darling's decision to ignore pleas to freeze beer duty and help save pubs, the Chancellor instead whacked 4p on a pint and promised a 2% above inflation rise for the next four years.
The campaign even reached Westminster on Wednesday.
During Prime Minister's questions, Tory leader David Cameron said: "Everybody knows that taxes have just gone up.
"Every time you fill up the car, taxes have gone up; every time you buy a car, taxes have gone up; every time the family goes shopping, and so on.
"No wonder every pub in Britain is trying to ban the Chancellor from having a pint."
