"I have a duty to ensure residents do not suffer from the brunt of the horrendous cuts being imposed on us"

The Borough of Tower Hamlets in the East End of London has decided to sell a Henry Moore sculpture.  "The Tower Hamlets council ... is looking at a potential sale price estimated around $32 million, which would cushion it against cuts in government funding that are forcing the council to make drastic trims in its own budget."  Repulsive!
