Pay for your drink… what you feel is fair

As reported by Time Out:

For one day this month you’ll be able to visit a London pub and pay what you feel is fair – based on how much you earn.

The pub – called The Fair Pour – comes from Oxfam, which is drawing attention to the Davos World Economic Forum which will be taking place at the same time. The Fair Pour aims to ‘highlight the growing inequality gap between the super-rich and the rest of the world’. The pub will be open on January 21 from midday until 9pm – and will be taking over The Queen's Head at 64 Theobalds Road.

With pints now reaching the £8 mark in London, it seems a fitting thirsty cause to use in order to draw attention to the vast disparity between earners. ‘At the Fair Pour, more affluent customers are encouraged to dig deep and to pay prices that reflect their individual wealth, highlighting how a fairer tax system could help tackle inequality,’ says Oxfam.
