At the bottom of Oxford’s Cowley Road you won’t find a bronze statue of a colonial-era British soldier, in campaign dress and pith helmet, rifle raised to the ready position, that commemorates the Boer war. Nor will you find human skulls arranged by type for the purposes of so-called “race science” in Oxford University’s Museum of Natural History. That 1903 memorial to the Oxfordshire Light Infantryman was removed, with no nostalgic or jingoistic fuss, back in the 1950s.
The culture war is real, and the government is rightly reflecting the will of the people in taking steps to prevent 'activists', such as those who vandalised the Colston statue, from taking things into their own hands. And that includes the Woke management bodies of museums etc.
it is not for museums to create a false image of a country, it is for the government to create a better image through the measures that they apply.
