Radical · Should Phones Be Banned in Pubs? (Your Radical Questions with Oisín Rogers) · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

Chris's question, Ashin, is do you have any experience with this as a business model? voice-verified

Can you see a future in pubs being managed in this way? voice-verified

It's interesting what you say about that sense of ownership. voice-verified

It's a bit like the kind of people who attend a pub have a kind of moral ownership issue. voice-verified

I like that. voice-verified

Roger Scruton, the conservative philosopher, had this wonderful phrase. voice-verified

He really believed in country pubs and spent a lot of time in them, including those that celebrated country pursuits like fox hunting, which he was a big fan of. voice-verified

Talked about how pubs, and I love the phrase, he said pubs added to the moral savings of the community. voice-verified

That sense that, you know, you get savings which are material and financial, but you get moral savings and that institution of the round. voice-verified

and that exchange of hospitality and generosity. voice-verified

This is my round. voice-verified

No, it's my round. voice-verified

I love that idea of adding to the moral savings of the community. voice-verified

Okay, there you go, Chris. voice-verified

There's a sort of vindication and a thumbs up for the idea of cooperatives and mutuals. voice-verified

I should say that I think, genuinely, I think that one of the things that Andy Burnham's government, if he does become the prime minister, will look into is whether or not that cooperative model could be extended. voice-verified

There are lots of famous cooperatives, not least the John Lewis Group, of course, or the John Lewis Partnership, I should say. voice-verified

Thank you, Chris. voice-verified

Here is a question from Ellie in Bradford. voice-verified
