Perhaps more sinister is the fact that our comments on the Greene King forum pages have recently been censored. Whilst these comments were against Greene King's decision making and decision makers, they were not obscene, personal or prejudiced other than against their decision to withdraw Harvey’s A decision that seems more out of spite than for profit since 3 out of 4 pints beer drawn in the pub were of local brew rather than Greene King’s own ales.
Currently I have been banned from the discussion forums on the Greene King’s web site unless I obtain a different IP address. We know we will most likely lose this fight, but we want to highlight the fact that whilst Greene King is advertising full support for the ‘local pub’, they appear to be doing the exact opposite. If you want to keep tradition and the irreplaceable British pub then be concerned now.
If you feel strongly about this or there are any more of you out there suffering corporate style bullying then and take a look at the sites below, join in the discussion and get involved. British pubs and drinking do not need influencing by a corporate board interested in only making money and doing so with total disregard to traditions!
