The military is too busy sailings menacingly around "former" colonial holdings to deal with petty civilian politics.

They need to let everyone in Africa know what's what and to keep China contained.

You don't need aircraft carriers to fight someone 40 miles away homey, in fact the land based planes are much more effective. I'm starting to see why the empire collapsed so quickly, not everything is a boat!
You need carriers to create air superiority for the invasion of St. Pierre & Miquelon/The Falklands.

Wow. An extra £3 of profit for pub owners on every hundred pints!

In a British pub isn't that about three pounds per customer every night? That's not bad.

Only on pints from big breweries though as the relief is only for beer in kegs 40l+.
Craft and microbreweries mostly use 30l kegs so they won't benefit at all.

Basically a bung to the large corporations while are LOCAL BRITISH breweries get increased competition.

Someone did the math and Heineken would see a relief of around £10.5 mil per year.


And because its only 3p a pint there's no chance pubs will pass that saving on to the punters.

except the only actual info they give on the actual u-turn that's the whole focus of the article is

Eventually the government gave in and U-turned. Ministers said they would be writing their own amendment next week to place a legal duty on water companies to cut sewage discharges.

God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King!
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the King!

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter his enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On him be pleased to pour;
Long may he reign:
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King!
