>A successful pub gets to carry on being one - if it's not successful, maybe that's because people stopped using it.

And pray tell, how does the influx of a muslim, non-alcohol-drinking population, influence this?





Depends how they're influxing. If they're seizing our homes and land by force and taking over our government, sure.

But as far as I can see, they're working for the NHS, running restaurants and shops and so on, and buying/renting homes that come up on the market like everyone else. London's Muslim mayor was elected by an absolute majority even though Muslims are only about 12% of the city's population.

Nobody is stopping Brits from doing Brit stuff - it's our own fault if we choose not to.

Far as I can see, what's done a lot of basic pubs in is a combination of lifestyle changes, people who don't like the smoking ban, and younger people wanting to spend time down the gym instead of drinking.


Are you seriously claiming with a straight face that there are too few pubs in England and that they are a threatened species?
