I visited the museum about 10 years ago and it was just great, very informative. Sounds like it’s been wokeified now and ruined as a result. Another brick in the wall

Yes, the white working class are un-needed, and unwanted anymore. Personally, I have worked on jobs in the Timber industry, and Peat extraction on piece work, that anyone fit could have done, and certainly no need to be British. One little point though. The British working class have not been treated well through history. Being forced into the Dark Satanic Mills, the Highland clearances, the Irish starvation plan, sorry potato famine, etc etc, and NB, the white working class did not own slaves, never did, and were in fact in many cases, slaves themselves.

I visited this museum with the school in the 1950s when I was very young. I remember nothing about it but at the same time (and my school was a private one) we were prepared for a Sikh child who was starting the next day. None of us had ever seen a black person although my family had lived in London in my earliest years.

We took it in our stride and I do remember one day with him watching the snow falling. He got very excited although I had no idea why.
