If a pub didn’t have a late licence in place for Sunday’s England game… they either didn’t intend to show it, or they didn’t plan ahead.
The majority of pubs showing the games got T.E.Ns ( Temporary Events Notices) that cost £25 from local authorities.
The Government acted too late on this. It’s been panicked into the correct decision.

One of my contacts goes to Germany several times a year and the last two years he has been saying to me he can’t believe what he now sees in Germany – companies that have only ever recruited staff are laying off like there’s no tomorrow.
Volkswagen aims to axe up to 100,000 jobs in a “profound” strategic shift to counter trade tariffs, stagnating markets and, above all, fierce competition from China. It will cut one in six of its 660,000 jobs worldwide and production at four German factories — the largest restructure in automotive industry history.
China is out to do to Europe’s car industry what it’s already done to its solar panel industry — destroy it.
Judging from the pathetic response of the EU so far to this threat (the UK is equally pathetic) it’s likely to succeed.
China also aims to dominate batteries, wind power machinery, machine tools, Pharma and chips — with its mercantilist ‘industrial policy of everything’.
China 2.0 poses a far bigger threat to European industry than China 1.0 over 20 years ago. Some forecasts predict over 50% of what’s left of Europe’s manufacturing base will be gone in a decade.

@GBNEWS When you look around this table at this G7 meeting it’s clear four of those people including Starmer will be gone / removed in next 12 months .
@SheffieldStar You see the problem is with all the roadworks and alterations in the city centre which has been going on now for over 10 years and in that time we have lost John Lewis who was the main anchor for the Centre - people are going elsewhere constantly – speak to the Taxi drivers !
