webfact Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Chinese firm buys UK Prime Minister’s local pub CADSDEN: -- A Chinese company has bought a British pub in the Buckinghamshire countryside just outside London. The Plough at Cadsden became famous last year when former Prime Minister David Cameron brought Chinese President Xi Jinping there for a friendly pint. Cadsden is a few minutes away from the prime minister’s official countryside residence at Chequers. Peter Zhang, managing director of SinoFortone Investment group, said: “The English pub concept is growing very fast in China and it’s the best way culturally to link people from different countries and build friendships.” -- © Copyright Euronews 2016-12-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 The BBC reports the Chinese company intends to open a chain of 120 pubs across China all modeled on The Plough and all to be named The Prime Minister. Now if only they'd buy some British politicians too, well maybe they have already if you see what I mean. Buy and ship to China sounds better !

They are not alone in terms of your opening statement. Once digital currency is implemented they will leave you naked by the roadside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, due to it's proximity to Chequers, this pub has been used by many Prime Ministers over the years, I can find no information that it has ever been owned by a politician in the around 500 years of it's existence. Can you tell us who the politician is who bought it from the Steve and Sharon mentioned in A potted history of The Plough at Cadsden before selling to this Chinese company? I think it's safe to assume Steve and Sharon were the owners as in July they were advertising for a manager on the pub's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 So where's a group of politicians going to go to unwind and have a few- that isn't being recorded from every angle by the new owners (and their handlers)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
