Plain Talker Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The Bradford Museum of Film and Media, The Manchester Museum of Science and Technology, and the York Railway Museum are under threat of closure. Because of Government cuts, one has to go. I've been to them all, and they are all great. None of them should have to close of couse, but if one has to, which one should it be? And what could be done to keep them all open? well, the government could afford £10m for Thatcher's funeral.... They can pour billions of pounds into, and sacrifice thousands of servicemen in the Gulf War... I'd say thy have more than enough money to fund these brilliant museums (I have been to all three and think they are all wonderful places) (having now read alchresearch's figures, and comments, I'm also very much inclined to agree with his point of view, too.)

*_ash_* Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Is there a link to this? I can't find one. Anyone? It's hard to discuss something without something to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I am not sure how serious the science group ever were about closing the museum, or whether it was all about making sure they got a decent budget settlement - or possibly dipping their toe in the water about trying to charge for entry." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-22948171 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
