The only thing that would be more fitting is Thatcher's grave catching on fire because of reduced safety standards, and no one's able to put it out because they ran out of piss
THE Museum of Neoliberalism in London is closing its doors for good this evening, before developers demolish and turn the site into luxury flats.
Founded by artists Darren Cullen and Gavin Grindon, the museum has been based in Leegate shopping centre in Lewisham since 2019.
The exhibition featured a timeline on the history of neoliberalism, and displayed artefacts including real-life anti-union posters, corporate-sponsored scout badges and an authentic bottle of urine from an Amazon employee.
Developer Galliard Homes plans to demolish the shopping centre where the museum stands, and build towers up to 15 storeys high accommodating 562 residential flats.

The museum is not pro-neoliberalism, though in that light if it does succeed in finding a new location it seems like a guarantee that this news article will become an exhibit in it
A new apartment building is going up in the middle of my small town. It’s “luxury” apartments.
Big black “stylish” (see also: identical to every other luxury apartment building in the last 5 years) building on top of a hill in the middle of a low-cost and simple rural community. It’s so ridiculous. It stands out horribly, and looks terrible. And it’s right next to a gas station.. so it looks even more ridiculous. I doubt they will get a lot of renters for it.
About a decade back there was a push to build luxury apartments in the town over. They built them all (few hundred units) right next to the landfill. I’ve driven past said landfill in summer and nearly throw up. I can’t imagine living next to that, and calling my place luxury..
that people would construct and buy luxury apartments, when you could instead spend that money on building luxury lower density housing that rich people actually want.
Rich people generally want to show off their wealth, which isn't very easy with apartments. They also tend to want lots of space, which of course is also difficult with apartments.
Rich people live in mansions, not fucking apartments.
