London MEP Candidate Lawrence Webb joins Axe The Beer Tax protest at Westminster

March 8th saw Parliament Square full of 6ft pints and some very bemused Tamil protesters who are under the impression that Gordon Brown can do something about a civil war in Sri Lanka (clearly they have fallen for his leader of the world impression).

However Gordon Brown and Alastair Darling can do something about the crisis in the pub trade in this country and the 33% of the price of a pint which goes straight to HM Treasury. Instead of raising the price of beer & cider still further and stopping anyone going to the pub (now that they have persecuted smokers into staying away).

UKIP fully support the Axe The Beer Tax campaign and Nigel Farage will be speaking on this subject on Channel 4's Political Slot at 19.55pm on Thursday 9th April. Lawrence Webb, London Regional Organiser and one of London's MEP candidates, was down at Parliament Square to lend his voice to the protesters.
