Rich scumbag Mark Palmer-Edgecumbe duped people into believing he would be opening a museum celebrating the history of East End women. Instead, he unveiled a lurid spectacle about a serial killer and mutilator of sex workers, on the site of a historic battle in which women fought the British Union of Fascists alongside their male comrades.

Pissed off women, locals and others held a couple of demos outside the venue this week when the site was due to open its doors. The Class War demo on Wednesday resulted in a window being smashed and the road being blocked (video here). Yesterday it was reported that the door panes had also been put through and that the museum had not yet opened for business. Another picket is planned for next Wednesday at 6pm so get down there & shut down the Museum of Misogyny before it welcomes its first customers.

For more background, have a listen to Martin, who puts the Ripper museum in the context of other struggles in the area.
