Mike Newton has created a dozen jobs since buying the pub just before the start of the Covid pandemic. Peta - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - has now written to Mike calling on him to change the name.
A pub owner has blasted "left wing wokery" after facing mounting pressure to change the name of his business.
He named the popular pub The Old Bulldog after his own pet bulldog Atticus. But Peta - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - has now written to Mike calling on him to change the name. "I have grown up around here and have strong links to the area. I want to put something back in the community.
"We decided to change the name . The girls have got a bulldog and I have Atticus. We thought The Old Bulldog would be a good name."He continued: "We were feeling a bit insulted when we got this very patronising letter from the charity that represents the worst of wokism, telling us how to run our business. It has been hard enough to make money in the pub trade in recent years.
