POLITICIANS, religious and community leaders came together yesterday to protest against east London’s Jack the Ripper Museum.
Tower Hamlets Mayor John Biggs was joined by Bishop of Stepney Adrian Newman, Leon Silver from East London Central Synagogue and other local organisers in a picket condemning the museum.
The United East End campaign argued the museum, originally planned as a tribute to the women of east London, “glorifies violence.”
Campaign chairman Glyn Robbins said: “United East End was set up to oppose those who seek to bring violence, division and hatred to our community.
“Violence against women is a huge problem in our society that this place does nothing to challenge. On the contrary, it is inviting paying customers to have a ‘selfie’ at Halloween with an image of a mutilated woman’s body.”
