Stratford-Upon-Avon To Be "Decolonised"

What a bunch of fat guts:

William Shakespeare’s birthplace is being “decolonised” following concerns about the playwright being used to promote “white supremacy”.
Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust owns buildings linked to the Bard in his home town of Stratford-upon-Avon. The trust also owns archival material including parish records of the playwright’s birth and baptism.
It is now “decolonising” its vast collection to “create a more inclusive museum experience”.
This process includes exploring “the continued impact of Empire” on the collection, the “impact of colonialism” on world history, and how “Shakespeare’s work has played a part in this”.
The trust has stated that some items in its collections and archives may contain “language or depictions that are racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise harmful”.

 

What a bunch of prating knaves, buffoons, harlots and, of course, fat guts.
