Off with Queen’s Head posters
Those who call objectors of the displayed posters ‘extreme royalists’ and ‘bigots’ have missed the point.
As far as I know, no-one was against a ‘jubilee free zone’ - that’s a free and personal choice for the publican, and a good thing for many punters.
The crux of the matter is that it is offensive and disrespectful to deface an image of the Queen.
I don’t call that ‘extreme’ or ‘bigotted’. A different design of poster would have caused no comment at all.
What is ironic is that someone who lives and works in a pub called The Queen’s Head, and is of a republican persuasion, lives on what was called King Street in the town of Rye Royal.
I think the ‘royalists’ should get a free drink for giving all the extra publicity.
