Sadly, as pointed out on the HA Journal, "Presumably, “rolling back of the state” can only mean one thing in the case of heritage and archaeology: spending less on protecting sites."

And that's not all, The Telegraph reports that, "...the future of the publicly funded National Museums and Galleries service, which offers the public free admission to some of the country’s best-known cultural venues, is still in doubt."
