Polly Toynbee’s article ( The Guardian 11.08.15) on the National Gallery “outsourcing” a priceless asset of human capital to Securitas, serves to demonstrate the inadequacy of a board of trustees who in all probability have looked at the price of everything and neglected the value of an inestimable workforce that is passionate and dedicated to its job. I look forward to my next visit and an erudite discussion with a security guard as I am frog marched out of the building for some petty misdemeanour such as admiring a painting or asking a difficult question.
