Ship 'em out - scandalous waste of money, blame lies firmly with Labour for bringing in the Human Rights Act and their fellow travellers in the judiciary getting rich out of it

Meanwhile several important national museums (including the National Railway Museum here in York) are being threatened with CLOSURE because of lack of government funding for the responsible (arts) department....currently a fraction of 1% of GDP. :cwm23:

THe NRM receives 1 million visitors a year, makes a profit and has no entry fee.
Why not just charge people even a small amount..£1 say ? I'm sure all the Korean and American tourists can afford that.

There has been a protest organised for today.

The National Coal Mining Museum near Wakefield in West Yorkshire is at risk alongside Bradford’s National Media Museum, the National Railway Museum in York and the Museum of Science and Industry (MoSI) in Manchester, according to city leaders.
