Welsh librarians, are apparently so steeped in racism that the government is spending £130,000 training them how to counter the “dominant paradigm of whiteness”. The training is specifically banned from taking place in “racist” buildings, such as William Gladstone’s Library in Hawarden, on the grounds that, 200 years ago, the great Liberal reformer’s father received compensation for his West Indies business interests after the abolition of slavery.
