'You're not taking our pubs... sling it': Landlord sick of being 'bullied' by 'greedy' energy firms hits back in brutal, expletive-laden social media post
A pub says pints will be 'pulled by candlelight' and TVs 'powered by generators' if necessary in a blunt cost of living crisis message to 'greedy' energy firms.
A scheme for businesses, schools, hospitals, other public organisations and charities will 'offer equivalent support', but will last for just six months. That includes pubs. But The Crown Inn said the boozer on Rochdale Road in Middleton was facing a 200 per cent price increase in October. "This was before the pandemic, cost of living crisis and energy price increases. I'm sick to death of working class communities being bullied by faceless corporate entities - and even worse not being backed up by our government. It's time communities came together and fought back."
The Crown Inn is predominately a football pub and the base of Middleton's Manchester United supporters' club. He said he was left with many questions following Ms Truss’s announcement of promised support for businesses. "How much will their bills increase by? Will they still increase? Will it still be silly money?” he asked.
