// According to the Evening Standard, Mr Palmer-Edgecumbe said: 'We did plan to do a museum about social history of women but as the project developed we decided a more interesting angle was from the perspective of the victims of Jack the Ripper. //
Or,
" We always planned a Jack the Ripper Museum because it will make us lots of money from Tourists, but lied and said it was a museum about wimmin to get it past the lefty planning committee. "

Reading the Guardian's report on this puts a whole new level on this story, especially some of the resident's comments.
/// Jemima Broadbridge, an east London campaigner and community organiser, said "we have a lot of philanthropists around here", and added that Cable Street was “known for Oscar Wilde and Charles Dickens, not Jack the Ripper”. ///
/// Jenni Boswell-Jones, a resident in the area for more than 30 years, Jack the Ripper has nothing to do with Cable Street. Cable Street was the home of the anti-fascist march in 1936, that’s what it’s known for. ///
/// People are fascinated with these murders because they were so brutal. It’s not just someone strangling and poisoning, it’s physically defiling women. It feels very mercenary and callous.” ///
Who said anything about Cable Street in particular, it is about the East end.
/// Jane Squire, who lives on an adjacent street, said: “I’ve got four kids aged four to 15, I don’t want them walking past there. I don’t want to have to explain to my teenage daughter that this man butchered women and ripped out their wombs.” ///
Then don't dear, one just couldn't make this up.

// Better a tourist attraction, than yet another PC outlet the brain child of a former Google diversity chief. //
The Ripper Museum was the brainchild of the ex-Goog. It is highly unlike there was ever a plan for a museum devoted to Womens' History.
That was just a ruse to hoodwink the local planning office.
// A document sent by Mr Palmer-Edgecumbe’s architects, Waugh Thistleton, last August to support the building’s conversion from a disused Victorian shop and flats into a museum included pictures of suffragettes and equal pay campaigners and designs for a museum called the Museum of Women’s History.
It promised the “world class” museum would “retell the story of the East End through the eyes, voices, experiences and actions” of women and show their contribution to British history. //
Tell it to the Marines.

And how could you possibly know that.
/// That was just a ruse to hoodwink the local planning office. ///
And this also, you constantly seem to obtain knowledge on things that you could not possibly been given inside knowledge of.
Perhaps you should consider a career in the Intelligence Services?
But no on second thoughts, perhaps not.
