> Over the weekend, it emerged that the museum at the wartime code-breaking centre was facing a financial crisis because of the coronavirus - and that meant it was preparing to lay off 35 people, a third of its workforce.
How is this a crisis at all? The museum was closed and opened with reduced attendance and doesn’t need this staff. I guess if you can’t separate the museum and the staff this is a crisis, or rather a crisis for its payroll.
If we want these sites to persist, we must be willing to cut payroll and staff, even if it means drastically reducing the hours. It’s the site that we’re preserving.
