I'm aware of that one isolated incident where they chose to defend a publican against the Trading Standards Dept for whom they demonstrate so much contempt. I submit it was nothing more that a publicity stunt to justify all their huff and puff about traders being free to trade in a units of their choosing. Quite easy to do as it was no threat to the exclusive retension of the pint elsewhere in the vast majority of pubs.
Would you not say that they risk getting the pint banned by carrying out such activities?
Perhaps you could explain how it benefits politicians, especially as they have been trying to disown it for the past 30 years.
Who asked for it in the first place? Certainly not "the people".
I don't respect their right to campaign on the basis of misinformation.
They are not selling misinformation - this is your point of view. If they were mis-informing I would not have joined. It was because of misinformation that I joined them in the first place.
It isn't just a matter of "my particular point of view". I justified my remark on the basis of self evident truths which you haven't countered.
The truth can be sculpted to one view or another - we know that with debates about the EU, the Iraq war etc etc. Without these 'truths' being shaped in such a way we would have no need for democracy because there would be only one point of view. And we'd all be told to accept this. This can be achieved in two forms - utopia or authoritarianist dictatorship.
Can I be candid? Would you like to see the BWMA banned?
