Of course it is an ART museum, it goes to the very HEART of what government buildings are supposed to be about.
PEOPLE. EXCELLENCE. STANDARDS.
Works of art have always been present in public places such as this as a reminder of what we're shooting for.
Ashcroft is an idiot.
It's the totalitarian regimes who first do away with art - remove the humanity from the situation.
I reconsider, perhaps Ashcroft is not an idiot,
he may well be something worse.
