[Vwoolf] More....but not Google Alerts!

Sun Jul 7 17:55:20 EDT 2024

Forgive me if I don't understand what this is about. I clicked on the Times
and was blocked (I don't subscribe). I can't reach these other  places
either. I also don't want to go to some of these places. I gather someone
carved a "QR code" on the statue of Woolf sitting on a bench somewhere in
London (Camden)? This is seen as politically unacceptable or left-wing or
"woke"?
Does anyone here know what it says who is responsible? Just say it here.
Can the carving be removed?
