History
"See the Good Behind the Hood" was elected as one of the UKYP's three West Midlands campaigns in March 2008, when the newly elected Members of Youth Parliament (MYPs) from around the county met for the first time and voted on their top three issues to campaign on in the upcoming year. The project is led by Dan Willetts, MYP for Dudley, and Andy Marlow, MYP for Birmingham.
On 15 November 2008, a campaign launch was held with a publicity stunt in central Birmingham, featuring a banner and five foam men. While they were up, they received a good response from passers-by. However, the men were kidnapped after a short period of time and, demoralised, nothing more was done that day.

“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
