On the 9th June Madeline Odent, curator of the Royston Museum in Hertfordshire, made a series of tweets detailing methods by which protesters can destroy historic statues.

The tweets (documented in this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/PelinoreGeryon/status/1270555730114904064 are a clear incitement for protesters, who have already begun to target moderate, non-slave-owning figures such as Robert Peel and William Gladstone, to use chemical methods to irreversibly damage monuments. Specifically mentioned in her posts are the statues of Winston Churchill and Cecil Rhodes.

Given the current wave of politically-motivated and unlawful attacks on British monuments, I believe it would be inappropriate, if not irresponsible, for Madeline Odent to continue to curate this nation's heritage and thus she should be removed from her position by the Royston Museum immediately.
