Well, now maybe you understand the feelings of the people in the #savemuseumealife campaign you treated with such condescension, Mark. The beigification of our cultural life hates regional difference and was always going to come for local radio. #BBCLocalRadio #suffolk

Woeful standards of journalism here - too many to mention them all but perhaps the most egregious is leading with the supposed boost to visitor numbers without actually quantifying them. Did you even ask @ajm_williams? #savemuseumealife
A Suffolk museum has passed a key milestone in its multi-million-pound plan for a renaissance.

Call off the campaign - @henrydodds thinks the cud-chewing yokels should just pipe down. #savemuseumealife
Marvellous: East Anglians complain about their erasure from the only museum dedicated to the region and this bloke from the BBC, who “knows things”, pops up to remind us that we’re just turnip eaters. Do you peddle this sort of crude stereotyping at @BBCRadio4 @henrydodds?

.@buryfree reports Matthew Attword @SaveMuseumEA questioning the robustness & independence of the consultation changing Museum of EA Life to a Food Museum & seeking assurances. Needs someone eg @edsheeran who loves & believes in EA Life to take it over, perhaps relocate to Fram?

Insidious, underhanded way @FoodMuseumUK has utterly destroyed original object of museum 'to advance education of public in area of East Anglia' shows contempt for the people of East Anglia & their history. No explanation justifies this. Silence speaks volumes. #savemuseumealife

The epitome of insubstantial, superficial journalistic flim-flammery: @tomwmarks @apollo_magazine accidentally stumbles across an actual story with genuine controversy having published a puff piece about @foodmuseumuk, then ignores attempts to give him the full picture.

Appalling arrogance given the local opposition: #savemuseumealife
Super proud of all the @FoodMuseumUK staff and volunteers for their hard work in making the museum name change a reality - @MandHAdvisor The Museum of East Anglian Life’s journey to become The Food Museum

What plans were these Jenny? Surely nothing to do with the food museum because the consultation on that didn’t start till April 2019. #savemuseumealife

Where am I from? East Anglia because a sense of Place matters. Home county of Essex = urban for many but countryside for me. Name change disregards our heritage & ironically out of step with current drive for Place Making. Sad when they’ve run successful engagement projects.

@SaveMuseumEA @LisaMuseum Nothing like being looked down upon by the very people who are supposed to look after our heritage. Maybe spend some time in the museum @lisamuseum and you'll have a bit more respect for this "strange area" #savemuseumealife

1/3 One of the less successful arguments in @Lisamuseum's interview yesterday was the suggestion that we're all too thick to cope with a longish title. But what do the numbers say? #savemuseumealife

Disastrous appearance on BBC Radio Suffolk @lisamuseum. The people of East Anglia clearly oppose this change and deserve proper consultation. And they deserve better than for the custodians of its heritage to giggle about it being "one of those strange areas." #savemuseumealife

@MuseumEALife how can you justify the ill-conceived and unwanted food museum vanity project when your collection is seriously dilapidated? #savemuseumealife

The Museum of East Anglian Life is due “potentially quite radical changes,” according to management: https://t.co/AcwQBKzQwB The name and ethos is to shift to “telling interesting stories about food,” while the existing collection is deteriorating alarmingly. #savemuseumealife
