Calls for a split in the BBPA

The BBPA is conflicted from top to bottom.

“We are about the members and we are there to promote everything they do.”

Pubco's, the members on one side, hammer down the prices the Members on the other side, the brewers, charge for their beer; then sell that beer onto their estates for twice or three times the price they bought it at - and they don't even touch the product. No they just sit on their stripey backsides all day doing nothing except speculating as to why all their pubs are going down the pan and thinking of new ways to invent claims against their tenants.

it's worth A reminder about that phrase: 'the increasingly discredited BBPA'. The BBPA's been doing a great job of this all on its own for the last few years. Impossible for them to be the mouthpiece for their Divided Membership.
