Cardiff University Vice Chancellor Wendy Larner (salary £290,000 per year) is in charge of this hateful fiasco. Yet she doesn't seem to be saying anything.

The possibility that the British Council could sell-off up to half of its art collection is fairly disastrous from so many different angles That virtually nobody is reacting to this news speaks to ingrained distrust/hatred for the art & culture that belongs to everybody artlyst.com/news/british...

Being a security guard anywhere is a thankless job. To do so in London, when you're being paid £11 an hour and dealing with THOUSANDS of tourists in that time... Don't cross the picket line. Boycott NHM, SM, and V&A this month.
