Another Sarah Edwards shocker today, proof that she can in fact drink liquid rather than just imbibe solids. She’s also able to take a seemingly random bullshit idea and run with it just for the chance of having yet another selfie of her at a pub/eating establishment. According to her, Labour is going to back British pubs, she says, whilst sitting outside a venue owned by Stonegate Group ‘The largest pub group in the UK’ according to their website.
Not exactly supporting independent pubs and clubs which don’t have the cushion of a big chain behind them is it? Let’s not have such small details get in the way of you and your parties ridiculous emissions though hey Sarah? Although we do think Stonegate might not be very happy to have their punters given the right to buy their pub off them, and we fail to see what would have stopped a community buying and taking over a pub if they wished anyway. We assume she’s heard of working mens clubs owned by their members.
Oh and by the way Sarah, have you seen how many pubs we have in Tamworth? In fact if you knew the town, which you don’t, it is often a complaint of the locals that we have too many of them, card shops and barbers (let’s not get into the fact they’re there because people use them!). Fact is, we aren’t short of pubs, and the last we looked, only the ones that aren’t being used or aren’t involved in drugs busts were the ones closing.
This is just yet another example of Labour claiming they can do things that are either already done, or can be done easily. If you notice the Labour party propaganda for this election, it is unashamedly designed to make out that they are somehow breaking new ground on stuff that is already a given. Worse still, they aren’t in the slightest bit ashamed of basking in false glory, such as Edwards taking the West Midlands Mayor around Tamworth to show him the regeneration work the Tories set in motion whilst crowing on about the need for ‘change’ and revitalisation of the town centre.
