Amend smoking ban, save pubs — says new campaign

I do hope that Ewan is the light fingered post remover on this thread. It would be so tedious if it were the anonymous eedjit.

On further reading of the article I that noticed: "The new campaign is also supported by Forest, the liberal think tank Progressive Vision, the Adam Smith Institute, which champions the free market, and the Manifesto Club which campaigns for “freedom in everyday life”."

Wonder what, particularly the last three groups, think of the pub market in relation to the tie; how liberal it is and whether they wupport its removal? The tie certainly goes against the grain of all their thinking. If anyone fancies dropping them a line it might be interesting to find out.
