Cream teas at dawn: inside the war for the National Trust

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : "People have had to get used to what's going on with Brexit, people having to get used to Covid, the political agenda, levelling up - there are so many things in the mix that are creating this febrile atmosphere.
44% : Published in the aftermath of a summer of Black Lives Matter protests, which saw the statue of a slaver pushed into Bristol harbour and Winston Churchill's statue on Whitehall boarded up for its protection, it brought together three years' work exploring the histories of 93 estates.
41% : Stephen Green of the virulent rightwing pressure group Christian Voice - perhaps most notorious for speaking in defence of a Ugandan law threatening to impose the death penalty on HIV-positive gay men who had sex - is standing for election to the trust's governing council on a pitch accusing the trust of becoming "obsessed with LGBT issues" and "woke virtue-signalling".
41% : Green, who is endorsed by Restore Trust, has over the years opposed abortion, the criminalisation of marital rape, compulsory sex education in schools, performances of the musical Jerry Springer: The Opera (which he regarded as blasphemous) and above all the "sinful" practice of homosexuality.
