Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Tim Martin was on this morning being asked about why Weatherspoons are bucking the trend by being a successful pub chain. He was then asked that because they plan to open up more pubs in Scotland, would independence affect that. He basically went on a rant about how we could be a successful economy, cited the likes of New Zealand, Singapore and Sweden and then said there has been loads of rubbish spouted from some big businesses and politicians to put people off a yes vote. He then even got in a further dig towards Westminster that hopefully an independent Scotland would have a fairer VAT system for pubs that the likes of supermarkets enjoy. The business presenter looked quite stunned and then had to say it was nice to hear different opinions about the referendum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilser Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 The interviewer couldn't wait to get rid of him! Great! Quite - that wasn't what he was hoping for at all. I suspect that we won't be hearing from Tim Martin on the BBC for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
