There are some areas where immigration is a bigger factor in pubs closing, and I think immigration makes the closure of pubs more permanent even if it wasn’t the only factor to begin with, but it was a factor.
Go to predominantly white areas and some of them don’t have the same amount of pubs but some still have quite a few. And I’m not just talking about affluent areas, where actually they can be empty a lot of the time. Go to non white areas without the postgraduates and you won’t find a pub.
True.
Demographic change does play a part you're right.....Obviously Muslims don't drink alcohol (or aren't meant to) so the more the percent in an area the less trade.
I'm sure an area with a lack of social cohesion also contributes to the lack of a centralised gathering hub like a pub.
Yep, we wrangled immigration into it....legitimately.
