It is a fallacy that pubs will reopen on December 2nd.

In fact, the government has effectively closed all pubs by stealth for the first time in English history.

This is a quote coming from Tim Martin, who is the founder and chairman of

J.D. Weatherspoon, one of the largest pub chains in the country. And it's part of a letter that he's

written to MPs recently stating or calling them out for what these restrictions really are. And he

says it's a de facto closing down of the

entire pub industry with this so-called tier three and tier two structure. And he went on to write

to the government. And he said, tier three shuts them down completely. Tier two turns a pub into a

restaurant because you have to serve a full meal in order to qualify as a pub.

So he said, again, that's a de facto shutdown of it as an actual pub.

And he goes on to say, overwhelming scientific evidence, I think he's been listening to London Real,

is that lockdowns cost more than they benefit.

He said the government has spent 350 billion pounds so far on lockdown. And he said that is three times the amount they have spent on health services.

It's refreshing to me to see such a business leader as Tim start talking about the cost benefit analysis,

something we've been speaking,

you know, almost ad nauseum here

for months and months here at London Real.

And that is, what is the cost of lockdown?

What is the cost in terms of lives?

What is the economic cost of this lockdown in the long term

versus what we think we're doing the right thing now

to perhaps save lives or perhaps lower cases,
