Bringing Classical Liberalism to South London
Mike Swadling from the Croydon Constitutionalists interviewed on Sputnik News Radio about Jeremy Corbyn’s proposals to fund the BBC and take further government control of our media.
“A poll tax disproportionately hurting the poorest families in this country is what the BBC is. It pays for multi-millionaires like Gary Lineker and some of their other stars.”
Croydon Constitutionalist Mike Swadling writes in the Croydon Citizen about a local society and the need to be able to differ for the benefit of society.
“Debating societies are designed to test your skills in truly understanding a different view”
Mike Swadling asks – Where does the council spend its money and Do we get value for it? In the Croydon Citizen – https://thecroydoncitizen.com/politics-society/taxing-conversations-croydon/
Winston Churchill famously said “I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me”. With 1 in every 3 pounds spent in a pub going to the taxman, it appears the government takes more from both us and the alcohol than they ever give back.
Despite serving the country for generations, our pubs are under threat from a range of pressures, and right now they are closing at a rate of 3 per day. The Long Live the Local campaign is asking government to ease pressure on pubs by reducing beer duty and other taxes on this key trade. A small reduction in beer duty adds a huge amount of capital to the industry. Please join us in supporting this worthwhile campaign and sign the petition to cut beer tax at https://www.longlivethelocal.pub/.
