They will need to sell an additional:
60,000 pints a year.
Thats 1200 pints a week.
Thats 170 extra pints a day.

Labour lied their way into office. They are not a legitimate Govt.
Earn it? Taxed. Save it? Taxed. Sell it? Taxed. Spend it? Taxed. Invest it? Taxed. Build it? Taxed. Live in it? Taxed. Drive it? Taxed. Eat it? Taxed. Drink it? Taxed. Smoke it? Taxed. Give it away? Taxed.
Die? Still taxed.
And then they go & waste it.
Will this ever stop? Maybe when all the high earners have left the country?
