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.

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.
