How could the social justice warriors at the National Maritime Museum cave into the PC brigade by promising to provide “multiple perspectives on history,” the letter cries, before going on to praise the “chairman [sic] of the Charity Commission, Baroness Stowell,” for reminding charities to stay out of politics.
