Did @nationaltrust stray from its “clear, simple purpose”?

The National Trust does what it does "FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE NATION"
That doesn& #39;t mean for some individuals of the nation, it means doing what is morally and ethically right for the nation as a whole. Raising awareness of the difficult history of our nation is for its benefit.

"PRESERVATION OF FURNITURE, PICTURES AND CHATTELS OF ANY DESCRIPTION"
To preserve something is not only to maintain its physical form, it is to understand its history, context and meaning. Raising awareness of the difficult history of objects is essential in preserving them.

"HAVING NATIONAL AND HISTORIC OR ARTISTIC INTEREST."
The buildings, furniture and other objects are of interest to all histories, not just the dominant telling of a single history. Raising awareness of the difficult history some people don& #39;t want to hear is of national interest.

So investigate if you must. If you think now is the right time. If you think there is anything to answer for. But know that the National Trust, like all charities, stand up for what they believe in, for what is right, and us supporters applaud them for it https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/national-trust-told-to-focus-on-core-task-of-protecting-historic-sites-kblmr67jc">https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/n...
