Not even YOU can pull the wool over everyone's eyes all the time Mr Tuppen. Some of us KNOW what is going on because we are objective and not driven by rapacious need for profit at any expense to everyone around us. A lot of people in this country still care deeply about community and sustainability which is why, for the first time in a century, licensees are galvanising themselves to march to make their position clear to everyone.

You will notice that 100 years ago licensees from all over Britain headed to London - to government - the source of their troubles.

THIS time, Mr Tuppen, in case it has escaped you, they are headed to your offices. Why do you think that is?

It's not rocket science is it. It's because you and Mr Townsend are NOT listening to them.
