Big Tim's 'instinct' tells him it's fine to encourage folk to go down the pub...
“Am I out of my depth? We’re a democracy, aren’t we? I’m obviously not an expert but I’ve got a view and that’s all I can say. People can accept it or not."
I'm going with 'not'.

The guy is a moron, and yet his ill informed views get broadcast to the great unwashed as though they are credible. It's a big part of why the country is fooked. |  |

This was one of the leading campaigners for Brexit. He is listened to by many of that sector of society. His views should concern us greatly. |  |

Yes our recent ITFC experience should show us that multi millionaires are of course experts in all fields for example disease epidemiology, health economics, running football clubs and selling out of date beer at a profit.
I would take TWTD knowledge over Tim Martin any day of the week. |  |

No it's just you thicko. And Tim there.
The Government agrees with the average TWTD poster.
Why do you believe most TWTD posters have zero hour contracts? Why invent some insult?.
It's clearly untrue. Why do you just post sh1t all the time? If you hate the site and its users so much don't post. Just leave. [Post edited 20 Mar 2020 21:13]

Do you agree with Tim Martin that it is OK for people to carry on going down the pub as normal and that the Government is wrong (that all the Governments that have shut down their countries are wrong)?
You are a very vocal supporter of Brexit too aren't you? (Or have I mis-remembered that one?)
In 3 weeks time when the death toll is in the thousands despite us being in lock down are you prepared to accept that listening to the likes of Tom Martin is utter stupidity? This is a very big reason why many of the population think we are going ahead with Brexit thanks to the vote of a significant proportion of the electorate who are utterly stupid. Yes, there are Brexit voters who are not stupid but a significant proportion have voted with a high indication of accepting things that are utterly stupid. | |

He's one of those people who if you did the opposite to what he suggests most of the time you'd be on the right side of society.
Won't use his pubs, don't like his business practises and have zero intention of taking his advice on anything else. |  |

No, no, no, no, no.
This is nothing to do with left v right you idiot.
This is a man, with an inexplicably high public profile, openly encouraging people to defy Public Health warnings because he's worried it will cost him a few quid.
This isn't about disagreeing with his politics, this is about disagreeing with him deliberately putting the lives of all of our relatives, and the viability of our NHS, into jeopardy.
Get a grip. | | | |

Calling a moron a moron is utterly fine. There is sticking up for your business and then there is wilfully spreading information that directly contradicts actual experts. | |

It’s not just “people” though is it, it’s the scientific experts, healthcare professionals, government, experience of other countries, and the feelings of most of the country that disagree.
His actions in encouraging this and using his platform in ignorance genuinely endanger life, as has been drummed into us or a couple of weeks now.
Calling him an idiot/moron is totally appropriate in this case, | |

Martin was simply talking to his typical demographic audience and justifying his own consumers actions in attending.
There are a range of operators including his who have devalued a visit to the pub and the whole brewing process (which is a very expensive process) by cheapening the whole experience. By and large the consumers they attract mean that another consumer base goes elsewhere.
Sadly Spoons is partially responsible for closure of many pubs.
It is quite ridiculous to be charging c£1.65 per pint anywhere. A pint of beer even Fosters , Carling and John Smiths is worth more than that. |  | | |

Do people that have a lot of money automatically become experts in every field then?
You'd be happy enough for Tim Martin to perform open heart surgery on your kids? | | | |

It's got nothing to do with politics. The bloke is defying public health advice in the times of a global pandemic. Anyone who does that is stupid and dangerous.
Thankfully he's been shut down now, and it's for people like him that we need enforceable edicts from the govt rather than just advice. |  |
