If you feel like donating to the RNLI, here’s a link. I just have. Their minimum donation is £2: I think it might be nice for them to receive a lot of donations this week, even if they’re mostly very modest. Just so they know a lot of people out here appreciate their work. rnli.org/support-us/g...

Very thankful to @jhowesuk.bsky.social and Jayanta Sengupta in this volume for letting me know about the Robert Clive statue temporarily encased in glass at the Victoria Memorial Hall, Kolkata, which I couldn't help but compare to Thomas Picton getting put in his Cardiff box at around the same time

Fascinated that these are both examples of politics influencing heritage decisions at around the same time and with a similar-looking result, but (as the chapter makes clear) with wildly different political/cultural contexts

Just about to update my 3rd-year module, which includes statues - will add this! 🙏🗃️
