There's Some Corner of a Subject Park

Given the urgent need for more green space, it is only to be expected that plans should be afoot to turn an open area called Britannia Park into an industrial rah-rah zone. The Museum of Military Medicine is to be moved from Aldershot, where it has been based for half a century but which will presumably soon be required for lorry parks and pre-disposal wog warehousing, and dumped on Cardiff Bay. Local enemies of our island story are already about their treacherous activities, arguing that the museum will be a monument to the British empire, rather than a tourist-friendly embodiment of those British Army recruiting adverts aimed at showing worried students that military life is almost entirely concerned with education, camaraderie and interesting gadgets. The trust which runs the museum claims that the local community will be taken into account, perhaps by seasoning the usual world-beating diet of Imperial glories with a few pinches of the Edwards Plantagenet.
