Alexandra Palace opened in 1873, 150 years ago.

Two weeks later #OnThisDay it burned down due to a fire, reopening in 1875.

Designed as a place of recreation and entertainment, @Yourallypally was initially set to be called the ‘Palace of the People’. ➡️ https://t.co/5kgwzxEGRe

All for £26k FTE (£15.6k actual)

MA salary guidelines are £34,684

This is disgusting gatekeeping + exploitation
