"Pubs, restaurants, and the wider UK hospitality have been brought to its knees by a Government blatantly ignoring the evidence from the sector that pubs and restaurants are safe and are part of the solution.
The industry has spent 100’s of millions of pounds creating COVID safe
environments to allow the country’s people to improve their mental health and well-being and to enjoy some relaxation from the stresses of these awful times.
Pubs are a huge part of our culture and are a significant part of every community. The only places where alcohol is
consumed in a controlled and supervised manner.
The tiered approach in pubs and restaurants has forced friends and families to resort to meeting in each other’s houses. Of course it has, we British need to see our friends & families. Why does the Government not get this?
There
is absolutely no evidence to support some of the messaging suggesting that pubs are a significant factor in the spreading of the virus. The sector has supplied the government with evidence that clearly demonstrates the opposite is true. We need the powers that be, to reconsider
their approach to our world-renowned great pubs and restaurants. Give the people back their Liberty, enough is enough. We understand the need to follow COVID protocols, in particular social distancing until the vaccine has been rolled out, of course we do. We will continue to
ensure our pubs and restaurants are the safest environments. I think it is also worth pointing out, the sector as a whole including the supply chain (brewers etc) support over 6 million jobs and contribute circa £158bn to the UK economy and generate over £70bn to the treasury in
taxes.
We need your support as do millions of peoples whose livelihoods depend on you preventing disaster from happening. Make your voice heard in the Commons."
