Disgusting funding situation

I find it absolutely appalling that Bletchley Park has been left in this situation. Were it not for it's volunteers and the trust it would not be there today, this government does not care for our (industrial) heritage preferring places like Bletchley Park, Pyestock and others, with our past heritage to wither and die. They leave it to small bands of dedicated volunteers to struggle against bureaucracy and innumerable constraints whilst making it easier for developers to profit from the demise of our past.

Bletchley Park was an enforced silent pioneer in our computing history, it deserves better and should be helped to preserve and publicise its past achievements, our government should be first in the queue to save this forgotten piece of our history, and not leave it to joe public to do their work for them.

Those that cannot remember the past are destined to repeat it.
