CAMRA: Over 33,000 sign e-petition for UK to repeal beer tax increases
Really sad to see the slow death of the UK pub culture, a rate of eight pubs per week according to the report.
Lancashire and the West Midlands were hardest hit by the closures, according to the study covering England, Wales and Scotland. Camra said more than 33,000 consumers have now signed a national e-petition calling for an end to above-inflation beer tax increases in response to a 42% increase in duty since 2008.
