Just some of the stoical peers who were in the @UKHouseofLords chamber until the early hours of this morning, arguing and voting for amendments to the terribly flawed Holocaust Memorial Bill.

That 50 sites were considered, before VTG was chosen in ‘a moment of genius’. But we’re the fantasists.

That it will take up a mere 7.5% of the park (but please don’t hold them to square footages, because that would ‘make the proposed scheme undeliverable’. In fact, don’t use measurements at all. Just look at the ‘little lines’ on the plan.) But we’re the fantasists.

For years, a planned Holocaust memorial in London has been beset by delays, legal challenges, rocketing costs, and the emotionally complicated spectacle of very old survivors speaking both in favor and against it. nyer.cm/nfi6sXC

The Holocaust Memorial Bill is currently in the Lords, where the Government is arguing that Holocaust survivors do not have the right be heard in relation to a Holocaust Memorial! In today’s @thetimes William Shawcross runs through just a few of the proposal’s many failings.
