Comment on ‘It is British life’: No 10 vows to stop councils trying to limit standing in pubs

I’m reading this as an outsider (US) and wondering who the people proposing these policies are, and why they’re so opposed to fun, nightlife, and supporting long-standing traditions? I’ve been to the UK many times and loved the pub scene.
Is this is an anti-alcohol ploy dressed in crime-fighting garb?
The council area is London’s biggest night life area, the local residents have elected a council who is determined to kill that. Businesses dont get to vote. So the small number if residents get to kill thousands of businesses.
It is democracy but not as we know it it Jim
I will never understand the mentality of people moving to an area known for its lively nightlife, and then complaining about said lively nightlife being too loud. Yeah it is loud, that’s why hardly anyone wants to live there, why do you live there?
