Parliament bar bans beer for offensive pump plate
A beer called Top Totty by a Stafford-based brewer has been banned from a parliamentary bar because its pump plate featuring a half-naked lady caused offence.
The shadow equalities minister, Kate Green, was left "disturbed" after seeing the 4% ale’s advertising in a popular Westminster watering hole and demanded bar staff remove it from sale.

What the hell is a “shadow equalities minister”???
What a ridiculous occurrence…
“I find this offensive. Everyone else probably does too. Instead of avoiding this product or establishment, I’ll just lobby to change whatever it is in questions and ruin it for the people who don’t mind/enjoy it. Way to go, me!”
It’s basically the non ruling party with the most elected officials creating the exact same positions for the purpose of the ongoing charades that the “crown” means something.
