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.

Hide AdI 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.
