I believe that Professor Sommer is right concerning the proposed memorial.
Just HOW MANY further measured and valid objections to the instant site need to be raised and in some cases re-iterated for Mr. Gove and others directly responsible to take pause and genuinely revisit its selection- genuinely rather than just having gone through the motions.
As to the resounding Lords vote in favour of Lord Goldsmith’s second motion, the numbers rather speak for themselves, surely.
But, what a telling, sarcastic turn of phrase Lord Razzall employed, leading as it did to Lord Sharpe letting slip the threadbare and self contradicting nature of the entire Rwanda “policy.”
Although this might be dismissed as a planning issue as opposed to being a topic for primary legislation, if the aim of the memorial and its attendant centre is to attract visitors - Westminster is already heavily crowded with tourists (as well as people visiting Parliament). Quiet realisation and contemplation is going to be difficult to achieve. Have a token statue in central London as for other memorials by all means but have your education centre where there is proper access.
