Protect Our Pubs
Pub Nationalisation Project
During 2007, The Hare & Hounds, Kings Heath became the HQ for the Protect our Pubs campaign. This was premised on a single fictional conceit: that all English pubs were to be nationalised by 2010.
POP temporarily converted The Hare and Hounds to show what a state run pub would be like. Pub nationalisation at The Hare & Hounds involved:
- Changing the pubs name to the more politically correct The Care & Hounds
- Specimen government posters
- A Smartest Barperson Competition
- Ultra Safe Ultra Fun Pub Games (Group Suduku; Gently Push A Pound)
- A Nanny State 0% Ale
