Tim Martin wants to turn Buckingham Palace – or at least part of it – into a Wetherspoons now that the Queen has left.
But Mr Martin thinks all that space could be better put to use by turning the 317-year-old palace into a boozer.‘I wouldn’t even insist on taking over the whole of Buckingham Palace, I’d just take a section and a bit of garden.Mr Martin was sure to stress that Her Majesty would always be welcome back for a drink whenever she wanted.Tim also thinks the House of Lords should be turned into a Weatherspoons Clearly on a roll, Mr Martin also said he thinks the House of Lords would make a good pub.
He promised to preserve the ‘old features’, believing they would be a good attraction for people to come look around. The famous Brexiteer, who donated £200,000 to the Vote Leave campaign, has long spoken about how difficult coronavirus restrictions were for pubs. Repeating these thoughts, he said he had never drunk at home until lockdown.
Mr Martin believes pubs are good for communities in the country as they provide a place for people to socialise outside of their own circles. This is part of the reason Mr Martin believes in keeping prices low – so everyone from all walks of life can afford to drink and feel welcome in a Wetherspoons.
