Jesus College, Cambridge is proposing to remove a memorial in their chapel to an alleged profiteer from the slave trade, and store it in an unused wine cellar.

A graduate of the college wrote to the editor of The Times today, scandalised that the college had sunk so low that they had an unused wine cellar.

Most probably this fake news, but I find it funny.

An empty wine cellar is indeed scandalous! :)

However, the story is indeed true. Slightly garbled account here: https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/jesus-college-cambridge-slave-traders-19913566

But why just store/hide the memorial?
