I'd love to be in a Guardian planning meeting when they sit round and think these ideas up for viral hate engagement. They must be absolutely pissing themselves laughing all the way to evening pints

In a nutshell...........
This is the new Mars bar. Pay the same for less. Or more likely pay slightly less for a lot less. Look we've brought your GLASS of beer back down under a fiver again, please ignore that it's now 400ml
You need to get rid of the pesky measurement first.

Many bars in the US offer the choice of an imperial (20 fl oz) pint or a US(16 fl oz) pint. That works for me rme

This is why craft beer is such a good business idea, you can charge a lot more, for less.
Is there any part of British culture this freeloading parasite doesn`t want to ruin . The opposition doesn`t need Farage or "photo ops" to make Starmer look like the lying git has proven to be .

Who would pay for all the new glassware that the trade would need to comply? The government? I doubt it.
It’s utter nonsense. The pint will never be retired.
Does this look like a man who opposes pints?

Don’t want any of that foreign muck.
I love Harvey’s Sussex Best. Yet some silly arse once put it in a litre stein and it was inferior to the proper Harvey’s.

They need to concentrate on growth not f***ing about with the average personIt's about time isnt it?
I know Labour have had a tough time of it lately but they could get their polularity back on track by going with progressive policies like this.
The power of the pint: is it time to retire one of the world’s biggest beer measures?
A study suggested last week that adopting a two-thirds serve could improve public health. But is the pint really the problem?www.theguardian.com
In one of the old pre refurbished mill buildings near Manchester Piccadilly a few years ago, we visited a pop up bar on one of the floors before the match. They sold “pots” which was basically a scaled down beer glass but contained two thirds of a pint. Is it mandatory to serve beer in half or full pints in pubs as long as you are transparent about the price/volume of the drink being sold?

My experience of drinking with my uncle (who only drank halves) is that you lose all track of how much you have drunk and end up drinking more.
I can categorically confirm that is you moved it to 2/3rds even more confusion would follow.
