oh yes it wasn't supposed to be a dig at your suggestion. I'm just railing at the idea that it should even get to a stage where people think having a jumble sale Or Whatever is an appropriate recourse. You know who would probably love it, it'd be his big society pulling together wouldn't it. Well sod that. In Wiltshire libraries are being kept open by people volunteering. Well that's all very lovely But, by stepping forward to do that, they're showing they accept it's fine to close libraries. And this (Wiltshire again) smacks of the same thing to me. Sets a precedent so other libraries, museums, whatever, elsewhere, are also put at risk because 'well Wiltshire have managed'.


Also, why shouldn't librarians be paid to do a job which is clearly valuable? It's appalling that you can sack people because they're "not needed" but then expect that someone else will just step in and do then job for nothing.

I fancy a go at brain surgery, me. Any objections? I'll do it for free, it'll be fine.
