On the last possible day to submit a response to the Ministry of Justice's consultation on proposals regarding the retention (actually, in most cases, destruction after digitisation) of post-1858 wills, I have emailed my contribution. I restrained my language as best I could, but the phrases “cringeworthy references," “unforgivable and short-sighted cultural vandalism,” “absurd and frankly elitist notion,” and “naïve proposal” do appear. 😠
