Does Kate Green recognise a Top Totty?
Thursday, February 2 2012
Mike Nattrass, the UKIP MEP for Stafford, has denounced moves by the House of Commons to throw out Stafford Brewer, Slaters fine beer 'Top Totty ' from the famous Strangers Bar in the House of Commons.
Ms Green really is a humourless sort. She thinks by throwing out this well loved ale she will score points to restore her failings. Failings that include failing to declare her financial interests properly. After all she has been censured for not mentioning her Union sponsorship.
Top Totty, first arrived at the strangers bar in 2007 as a guest beer, and was sold out within 3 days. It has been a finalist in the National Beer Awards and is a fine brew, said Mr Nattrass.
"Ms Green obviously wouldn't know this given that she boasts that she hasn't set foot in the Stranger's Bar in a year and a half since she was elected. In may ways that tells us everything we need to know".
"This sort of knee-jerk Puritanism does more to damage the cause of equality than a thousand beer labels", he said. "It suggests that to be in favour of equality you must indulge in dour-faced, insult-searching misery.
"Frankly, this is a West Midlands British beer, but obviously not suitable for the faint hearted or those representing that non beer drinking community of Stretford, or is it simply that Ms Green is just does not understand what a Top Totty is. Ask a Scot!. You should see some of labels on beer from Strasbourg and with no complaints."
