Mob Rule and the National Library of Scotland
Euan McColm with a terrific article exposing the lack of leadership at the National Library of Scotland (NLS) whose chief executive bowed to threats of disruption from LGBT staff over 'The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht'.
"The librarian isn’t just a shelf stacker but a defender of the right to learn and to express ideas. In Scotland, the National Librarian is a standard bearer for the enlightenment values that infuse the codes by which we live today.
"Amina Shah is not – and can never be – that figurehead."
Well said, sir - because public bodies like the NLS should never cave in to these bogus safety concerns or threats of disruption from the equivalent of angry mobs and lovers of mob rule.
