Museum billed as celebration of London women opens as Jack the Ripper exhibit

[Spymaster]

they're fake as per the article i linked to some posts up

Well of course they're fake, ya bell!

What I'm asking is do they have "English Heritage" on them???

 

[Pickman's model]

Aye I bet they are fake but it's for English Heritage to confirm now innit

i don't see the point you're making as anyone can put plaques up, it's not like only english heritage have the right.

There is a fine tradition of blue plaque snidery in London. English Heritage get the ones with their name on removed but can't do anything about the ones that don't if the property owner doesn't complain:

it clearly doesn't say 'english heritage'

Thank you.

I was hoping that English Heritage would publically disassociate themselves from this shit endeavour. I daresay bricking the windows is quite effective but there are other forms of direct action.

Thank you.

yeh. well, it's very inconvenient having to run across london just to get you a picture.

What a pig of a man, he's pulled a fast one and enjoyed it at the expense of women and the community in East London. I soooo want this entreprise to fail, and am happy to get out there and picket the damn thing.

no. it would be better if it saw the wrecking ball - with or indeed without miley cyrus - before he passes on.

It's a profit extraction enterprise with a misogynistic twist built on deceit.

Interestingly another 'blue plaque' commemorating a victim of the Ripper was unveiled in Wolverhampton earlier this month.

Wolverhampton Jack the Ripper victim remembered - Express and Star

Pictured at the unveiling is Russell Edwards who published a book last year (a singularly stupid one even by the low standards of ripperology) which claimed to identify the Ripper on the basis of 'MAGIC DNA', and who opened a short-lived 'Official Jack the Ripper Store' in Toynbee St. Urban thread.

Edwards also set up a company in connection with a proposed Ripper museum - his called 'Jack the Ripper Museum Ltd'. No evidence he's associated with this venture but it rather illustrates the same 'aspirational' mindset. Not to mention the same ability to generate free publicity.

Red paint over the windows?
A mass "die-in" by women on the road outside?
Having a truckload of horse-shit delivered and dumped (tee-hee) on the door-step?

nothing so media-friebdly. last thing you want is to give this place free publicity.

Well you'd think that...

He was a diversity officer?

Yes. You should always get a white male in as your diversity officer to avoid accusations of tokenism.

 

[trabuquera]

He was a gay white male diversity officer; much of the fawning coverage of him in the media in the past came from his having made apparently-progressive statements about "being able to come out at work improves employee performance" and turning up at a lot of awards ceremonies. seems to have skipped the sexism-awareness training sessions at some point, I think...

I think there's a 'fuck it, I want to make money' escape clause in Diversity Officer's contracts.

I agree it's ghoulish.

there's a huge market in the macarbe end of true crime.

Bakunin probably knows abut some of the nastier stuff.

"Probably knows"?

 

[equationgirl]

I understand people having an intrest in the gruesome- the tower of london has its grim history etc. But saying you are opening a museum to east end women when in fact its a museum to how some of the poorest of them were violently murdered by what was very likely a Gentleman, well thats your spot on the wall booked m8. Also, writing for the guardian, another offence.

I think he's accelerated himself to near the start of proceedings with these shenanigans, the misogynistic lying wanker.

alright.....

i'll kick him again to talk about this when i've finished laughing at the streams of indignation from the man who has just discoverered that he tried to stick his arm to his desk with melted chocolate. it's a lot harder to take the serial killer obsessions seriously when i'm watching him work out how he can eat chocolate off his own elbow

it's that sort of laughter which can tempt a serial killer over the edge

then i might be able to set him on the herring gulls and the cunts who organise late night work on the rail line 3x a week

That's happened here too: Fred and Rose West's gaff was demolished, and the bricks were crushed and timbers burned to deter souvenir hunters.

And christie's house in Rillington place, demolished in the 1970s.
