Tristram Hunt

This is the home of all topics from the old forum. ontic-philosophy.com was the original incarnation of this site back in 2017/18 which was ran on a myBB platform. A Tree Stump (formely Ontical) saved a backup of the site before taking it down. In 2025 the forum was ressurected into a Buddypress/phpBB site on indieagora.com and then into this new Atrium custom build platform on indieagora.com. Feel free to add to the discussions and to ressurect old posts. You can also add new topics if you like.

Tristram Hunt

Post by atreestump »

After Paul alerted me to the great news about Tristram Hunt resigning from his MP position, I was let down when I saw where he was going afterwards - to be the director of the Victoria and Albert museum in London. He had already mentioned charging £5 to enter museums and galleries due to cuts, in 2011, but now says he's committed to free entry. I really don't trust this career politician, the Sentinel only talked about him saving art collections and being for brexit, in no way did they mention how he contributed to social services.

What are your thoughts on this guy?

Those were my thoughts on the guy, based on the things you mentioned, like putting things for the public that had always been free behind a paywall, people like that aggravate me, even if I have no idea who they are, so the video was meant to be some light humor showing a sort of oblivious seeming person reacting to things in an odd but still mild way, which I thought maybe captured how at this point I also have very little "bandwidth" or whatever the new term is, battery charge, for the issue, which at this point is long gone. I wanted to bump it also to see if there was any more news on this figure or the situation with the museum or anything else.

If you notice other questionable activity, please bring it up, and I can edit it, move it, or explain it. In this case I moved it and explained it.
