Smith is the best of a pretty uninspiring bunch, but free entry to museums and galleries was a mistake: ultimately responsible for the slow-moving crisis in the sector.
Interesting - do you have any data that backs that up? The main museums seem in good health to me, though I'll fully admit it's not my area of speciality, so happy to hear evidence against.
The plus sides do seem pretty huge. Living in London, it was extremely nice to be able to just pop into somewhere for an hour (and it also makes it much easier to visit them with young children, who don't always have the most stamina). And charging for exhibitions seems a good way of still getting money from those who are willing to pay.
footnote 2 - significantly and over should either get a room, or have a bit of space put between them.
footnote 4 - either of them should be any of them.
Thank you for the extremely niche election commentary I was looking for. I will be voting for Lord Smith.
Excellent! And typos fixed.
