Durova, some guy called Orderinchaos, and Witty Lama (who I mentioned in my first post on this subject) pen an essay.
At no point in the essay do they mention that the NPG is a publicly owned institution that offers free access to all visitors. This is a crucial element. As is the battle over keeping galleries and museums free access which has raged for two decades.
None of the three essayists are British tax payers. None of them seem to know the background behind galleries and museums in the UK.
