Banned

British Treasurer has been banned from pubs in the United Kingdom.

British pub landlords have launched a campaign to bar finance minister Alistair Darling from every pub in the land for raising taxes on alcohol in his March 12 budget.

Pub landlord Jason Hughes kicked off the campaign just after the budget came out by placing a spoof poster in the window of his Utopia Bar in Edinburgh, Darling's hometown, barring him from the premises.
