Presumably, they ask for government-issued ID like a driver’s license if they think you look underage to drink?
A pertinent rename for the tyrannical state of affairs we seem to find ourselves in.
If they wanted to be clever, they would have changed to “The Moon Under Water”, but then these tin-foil hat types have only read the synopsis of one Orwell book on wikipedia.
I am very against the OSA but I don’t see any problem whatsoever with a national ID system*. What are the material arguments against it?
*Although as the OSA is now a thing, I _could_ foresee an undesirable combination of the two: “enter your ID number to access the internet” etc.
Bit of a shit protest, innit. I don’t think Starmer is going to be at all bothered that a pub has decided to change its name.
Not his first rodeo,
During lockdown he complained against lockdown rules naming his pub The Three Bellends

The irony of a venue which im most cases only allows access provided you show a piece of identity is against a consolidated identity document?
How terminally online. Might as well say hello to the landlord as I’m sure he’s in the thread. Hello! Hope you’re well!
A photo card or digital app with a photo to apply for work, the hysteria is mind numbing.
Every complaint I’ve seen requires extrapolation and denial of the current situation.
If you drive, pay tax, have a passport or use the NHS then they already have a database online stuffed with your info. Heck this new card at present doesn’t even have your address… I hope it will so I can use it for picking up stuff from the post office.
I think it’s unlikely Starmer’s govt will get ID cards across the line due to how incompetent they are.
Most of the legislation in the King’s Speech on 17th July 2024 hasn’t got through Parliament. They’ve had to extend the current Parliamentary session till Spring 2026.
The problem seems to be that the Commons sent shonky legislation to the Lords and the Lords are having to go through line by line fixing it. Before the recess you had the spectacle of the Commons knocking off early while the elderly Lords worked late into the evening.
Given the above, I don’t think digital IDs will get through. And then there’s the fact that it’ll cost billions but the Treasury is skint. Plus it wasn’t in Labour’s manifesto, so the Lords can send it back to the Commons umpteen times.
Do they have a licence for this parody?
The police are taking comedy very seriously these days.,
I know people who’ve been to the pub and apparently its not a particularly friendly pub, as you’d expect from a pub who’s identity is built on paranoia. Very much don’t like outsiders going there, and I don’t just mean foreigners by that, if you don’t look the part even if you’re British you’ll get a lot of stares and curt behaviour from the staff.
We have people who believe 5G spreads covid, the earth is flat, the moon landings were fake, the Government emergency alert system is designed to “control us”, contactless payments “control us”.
Basically alot of people are idiots and believe everything is a conspiracy
OI!! ‘as that pub got a loicense fer renaming itself den, innit?!?!!?
