Can see this being a minefield actually,would this new tax apply equally to pubs/clubs if not i could seeing the supermarkets going to court their prices would go up by government dik-tat but not pubs /clubs. Also if the price did go up in pubs thousands more could close as they are doing now even before such a tax ,jobs would go in the brewing industry which brews in the uk most of what we consume,at a time of deep recession not very clever to have breweries closing just before an election (most are in nu-labours heartlands),hopefully this one will be kicked in the long grass where it belongs.
