Shrunken Heads at the Pitt Rivers in Oxford kicked in to touch as racist thanks to utterly spurious logic

Is nothing in the City of my birth, the City of lost causes, safe from the woke cultural revolution?

A Visit to the Pitt Rivers Museum –going home to Oxford

It seems as if my cats and I are going to relocate to Oxford. It is the City of my birth and I grew up in a series of villages within 40 miles of here and went to University here so I know the area well. And now I am back here. There are worse places. Cambridge obviously springs to mind. And so on this cold bank holiday a family trip was organised to the Pitt Rivers Museum.
