Whether you love it for its cheap and cheerful dining and drinks or loathe it for its no-frills ethos and corporate ambience, Wetherspoons is now a British institution. From humble beginnings as a lone pub in a former north London bookies to a ubiquitous 900-strong chain across the UK and Ireland with an annual turnover of £1.6 billion, we track the rise of one of Britain’s biggest brands, and the story of its outspoken and flagrantly pro-Brexit founder Tim Martin (pictured far right).

Both sides are given space in his publications. Here is a self made man who has made his money by giving people what they want.
So now he's incredibly rich and who can envy him that? But he has used his public position to consistently lie (or be stupidly misguided) about tariffs, free trade and the implications of Brexit. He may gain, his customers will suffer most.
