This is fascinating, as is the Historic England report on the subject. The title of the video is a teensy bit misleading, for as the report says:

It is estimated that 417 public houses (363 in England and 54 in Scotland) were acquired
or constructed by the Central Control Board and State Management Scheme between 1916
and 1973.241 This includes the public houses that were closed and remodelled under the
scheme. A total of 333 (80%) of these (290 in England and 43 in Scotland) remain standing,
but with the general decline in public house culture across the country, the future of these
buildings is uncertain.

We mapped the extent to which researchers and advocates have been subject to intimidation tactics by tobacco, alcohol and ultra-processed food (UPF) companies and their associates. The tactics described include being descredited in public, legal threats, complaints, nefarious use of Freedom of Information legislation, surveillance, cyberattacks, bribery and even physical violence.

The scale of intimidation we have found is likely to be the tip of the iceberg. Many will be too scared to publicly reveal that they have been intimidated because of their work.

We found widespread intimidation across the three sectors, perpetrated by corporations themselves and their third parties. In the most serious forms of intimidation, the perpetrators remained unknown.
