Probably ‘in collaboration with’ is not 100% accurate, but my understanding is VWSGB did offer advice to Camden Council.
And, Ellen, the statue of Woolf sitting on a bench is in Richmond, by the river.

The Camden Council, in collaboration with the VW Society of Great Britain, added a QR code to the plinth of the bust in Tavistock Square. When accessed, the code leads to information about Woolf that some people object to as, in current right-wing parlance, ‘woke’. Emma Woolf recently wrote an article for the Daily Torygraph… oops, Telegraph, apparently only having just ‘discovered’ the code’s existence (months after its installation). Emma Woolf is a right wing commentator who is a great-niece of Leonard Woolf. That, Ellen, is what this is all ‘about’.

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
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?

Virginia Woolf’s great-niece has criticised Camden council for installing a QR code on a statue of Woolf in London which visitors are invited to scan to find out more about her. And can you guess what
