The trouble for someone like Drakeford he is unaffected and not of the working class , he thinks oooh pub , oooh boooze , oooh all pissed, which is a bloody nonsense , but an easy target so he can appear strong and mask the inefficiencies of his other failing policies around education ,homelessness , and pre -covid health service , pubs have the best systems operation I've seen , and I've been in a few during Covid , shops though , dreadful .
What folk fail to grasp or care about this will hurt private owned businesses , young peoples jobs , at least 100k of folk in work , after the hit this year lots of these businesses were looking for the safety net of Xmas , he could have easily set out a rule where you can book in and out of a pub like a restaurant via a table slot , not allow entry unless via a NHS app scans , limit it to two hours, group four , those premises who broke the rules reported and closed immediately .
