Re: British Museum

This is the way things are going Cashy....STUPID.
The National Trust are acting in the same way.

A bit like the BBC banning Rule Britannia, and Land of Hope and Glory from the last night of the proms.
OK, they have changed their minds now....the tunes will be played but no words will be sung because they are seen to be linked with slavery.
This is the influence of the 'woke' generation.
Not playing the music or singing the words will not revoke what went on some three hundred years ago....and back then this was acceptable in society.
It is, in effect, rewriting history...or cancelling out history.
Putting a lid on patriotism only makes for polarisation of opinion.
