(satire?)
The Liberal Democrats will pledge in their general election manifesto to make access to selected national museums and galleries more open to poorer families by charging people up to £9,000 to go into them
Danny Alexander, the Lib Dem chief secretary to the treasury, will say that guaranteeing expensive access to museums will ensure that people from all backgrounds can continue to enjoy the “great institutions” – provided they have enough money to pay the exorbitant entrance fees.
The surprise announcement comes just 4 years after the Lib Dems fulfilled their manifesto pledge not to raise university tuition fees by tripling them.

This proposal by the LibDems is totally outrageous!! Nobody should be forced to pay more than £3,000 to visit a public museum or art gallery!

£9k cheap at half the price, can get half justice for that, or maybe 10% of political representation
