Last Orders in Blackburn should be renamed the Last Chance Saloon, seeing as so many of the regulars are banned in all other town centre pubs - no loss if that goes.
Now on a theoretical level if publicans were more responsible about who they serve I could see a good case for pubs being given tax subsidies as they are community facilities, but while they still serve under 18's and people that are already drunk that argument is not viable
