There's nothing 'extreme' about Fair Pint's aims. Fair Pint's aims are rational and sensible and simply demand that commercial fairness be introduced in the tied sector. Because the aims are simple and rational and about fairness there's not a lot to be dissected from the outside.

This is why Fair Pint has gained so much recognition in such a short time.

It is interesting that unions are looking at the pub trade. This is happening as more and more people begin to understand the depth of inequity and the shocking abuses of corporate power that routinely take place in the tied estates.

Anyone read the disclaimers at the bottom of pubco letters and emails?
