By way of background, we need to take a retrospective look at 2020, when the BLM racists were in full cry...
.
.
...and the National Maritime Museum...
.
(along with many another....
...previously respected institution!)
.
....climbed on the subversive bandwagon, 'reacting to the momentum built up by the Black Lives Matter movement...'
This creep-crawling may not have had Lord Nelson as its sole target....
ooo
Viscount Horatio Nelson (1758 - 1805)
..
..,but even then, four years ago, media investigation was demolishing allegations of Nelson's pro-slavery stance.
It's of course absurd that his heroic status should depend on whether he was 'pro-slavery' or 'anti-slavery.'
Great victories like Trafalgar, which kept Britain safe from Napoleon, were then, and still should be, what matter.

ooo
No doubt vendettas against long-dead great Brits are a source of delight to leftists...
..
..
....and we have noted how such people demean places that honour historic British glory.

"No room for Queen Elizabeth II statue on Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth, rules Sadiq Khan
London Mayor says existing schedule of temporary modern art commissions will continue with work depicting anti-colonialist revolt..."
No Trafalgar Square For HM? But Vile Savage Exalted?

How the National Maritime Museum is trying to decolonise Lord Nelson | The Spectator

.
That's what prompted my question, and, at a rare loose end, I diligently found the answer.
The National Maritime Museum receives funding directly from the Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport (DCMS). This statement details matters of governance, responsibilities and accountability between the two organisations.
In other words, this museum is only in business because the Tory government funnels tax-payers' money into its coffers.

Sunak could simply tell them to chuck the pathetic anti-patriotic antics...
.
.
...or go broke in the very near future.
