It will not be further subsidised by the MoD after the relocation.
It's also a fact, despite the claim that the Museum "chose Cardiff" that it did so only after several other UK cities had turned it down, which any sensible administration would do after seeing those figures.
So yes, let's stick to facts.
Furthermore,..
Why don't you show the full accounts before displaying one figure from one year. Are you on the board of trustees? Do you know why the defeceit occurred? Any idea how much it costs for architects, planning etc to move an entire museum? The accounts looks pretty healthy to me...certainly healthier than the Dr Who exhibit you compared it to.
What about the fact that it's also a charity? How much in terms of business rates do you think they'll pay?!
