‘Throughout the 1980’s, high-profile uprisings revealed the strength of anti-racist feeling across the country.’ If you’re worried about what’s happening right now, go to the Photographing Britain (80’s) exhibition @Tate. Reminds you of what ordinary citizens have done.

Thread.
@FinancialTimes review of my book Our Island Stories: Country Walks Through Colonial Britain. This reviewer (@BoydTonkin ) really gets the book's approach and the spirit in which it's put out there.

The @nationaltrust has made the tram stops in Manchester go all pink and poetry-laden to celebrate the beauty of Spring blossom. And while I’m on, let’s also hear it for public transport and the beautiful cityscapes of northern England.

Very sad news
Prof Alice Roberts💙@theAliceRoberts
Desperately sad news. Museums are treasure houses of objects and knowledge, founts of inspiration for future generations, places of wonder - and research. Places that invite us to see ourselves in a deep, wide context. Our society and culture is impoverished if we lose them. Having spent many hours behind the scenes in this one, poring over skeletal collections at National Museum Wales, working with archaeologists there, my heart is riven by this sad news. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I had fun recently giving the Octavia Hill lecture for the @nationaltrust . I talked about questions of 'dumbing down', about 'who owns the past' and why we need to argue about 'heritage'. You can watch it here, if you fancy! tiny.cc/2g4mxz

Yesterday the Daily Mail claimed @nationaltrust has 'secretly' stopped using butter in its scones in a 'virtue-signalling betrayal' of heritage. It now transpires the very same Daily Mail glowingly published our scone recipe in 2018 MADE WITH MARGARINE!!!

Stand by for the National Trust's Coleen Rooney moment. It's a Wagatha Christie-style discovery, but for scones, and it's big.

After failing to get National Trust members to vote for its candidates, Restore Trust announced its Director would move to offshore-funded thinktank Legatum Institute. Now Legatum's produced a report calling for political intervention in the National Trust tinyurl.com/5n72bksv

@wmarybeard @nationaltrust Team effort! Great to work with you.

Pleased and proud to be on the organising team for the second Octavia Hill lecture for @nationaltrust - thanks @wmarybeard, a fantastic evening. How can me make “the indistinguishably grand and posh” meaningful, useful and enjoyable in people’s lives?
Bernard Donoghue@bernarddonoghue
Just leaving a fantastic @nationaltrust Octavia Hill lecture, given by the inspiring @wmarybeard . There’s nothing like a thoughtful, provocative, disruptive, intellectually rigorous critical friend to challenge, congratulate, prick pomposity & embolden you. And she is and did.

And so it begins … the privatisation of local government .
Be afraid, people. Once they own your town, they will own you.
This is not democracy as we know it. This is asset grabbing on a humongous scale.
And it would be the slithy Gove

Great to see these - so impactful
Tim Dunn@MrTimDunn
Do you want to see four STONKINGLY good @nationaltrust posters? Well here they are anyway. David Gentleman, who’d only just recently designed the NT’s logo, is at his best here in this early ‘70s set. You just know they’d have turned heads; the beam engine prob surprised a lot of folk who thought NT was all stately piles and heathland. Now, if you want an original they’re about as rare as hen’s teeth but that clever sod @C20thPosters has managed to find one - which is what reminded me to post them all on Twitter anyway twentiethcenturyposters.com/collections/po… (btw you’ll know about a billion of David Gentleman’s designs, including the Concorde motif at Hatton Cross tube and the murals at Charing Cross tube.)

@Suzanne_Heath @MrTimDunn @nationaltrust There are some great ones that he did to do with protesting against a proposed road that, I think, was planned to run across the back of Petworth house. Wonderful, impactful designs.

After just one day on “work experience” I can fully recommend volunteering for the National Trust as a room guide… or whatever! Just had a great day.
