Get Darling Barred!
March 19th, 2008 by ThunderDragon
I fully support this cause, and encourage other pubs to follow the example of this Scottish pub:
YOU’LL never eat lunch in this town again: the landlord of the Easter Road bar and eatery, Utopia, has placed a poster in his window, warning Alistair Darling to keep off the premises…
It shows a noose above Mr Darling’s head, with “Barred” above his picture and “Not Welcome In This Pub” below. It is owner James Hughes’ personal protest against new duties on beer, wine and spirits in this month’s Budget.
“The poster is meant to be humorous, but to make it clear to punters that it is not us who are putting prices up, but Mr Darling,” he said. “The noose signifies that it is the government who should be hanged and not the licensed trade.” (The Scotsman)

All pubs should show this poster created by Devil’s Kitchen in order to show their displeasure at yet more taxes being showed on booze.
