@artnet It was Norma (not Norman) Pine Coffin who exhibited at the R.A. some months before Helen McNicoll. The programme suggested the two women may have attended each other’s exhibition and met, which led to Norma Pine-Coffin acquiring the painting.

Alan Bates turned down an OBE as Paula Vennells, the woman in charge of the Post Office through the Horizon Scandal, retains her CBE and refuses to give it back.

A man of honour 🙏🏼❤️

#MrBatesVsThePostOffice #PostOfficeScandal

Alan, 69: “The first thing that sprang to my mind while reading the letter (offering me an OBE) was Paula Vennells still had a CBE. I felt so deeply insulted. She presided over a policy of harassing hundreds of innocent people. It’s not just that the Government hasn’t asked her to return it. What’s even worse is that despite knowing the strength of feeling about it, how people have suffered and some cases died on her watch – she doesn’t feel inclined to give it back.”

Alan accepted a @PrideOfBritain award in 2023.
We were over the moon to give that to him.

Not all heros wear capes 💜

This is laughable, the idea that once digitised, archives will be 'preserved forever'. As I write, the British Library - its entire catalogue and digital deposit - has been hacked into oblivion.

Destroying a paper archive to save money in storage is completely irresponsible.
