Folks in the UK are not happy about a proposed 10 percent increase in the duty on cider. Nope, they are definitely not happy at all.
In fact, they are so displeased about it, 'Cider' has become a trending topic on Twitter. Whether this outpouring of opposition will result in a change in the proposal remains to be seen, but at least their voices are being heard.
