"Tradition-Loving" Brits to Women
"You're unqualified to wear silly red suits* and answer questions from tourists."
My "favorite" of the comments:
The PC madness strikes again and I am absolutely disgusted. Before this, the Tower was a place of magnificant British history, and should have been allowed to continue conveying accurate historical tradition to visitors, that is why tourists choose to visit after all. It should have therefore been protected from the modern PC madess.Now having Yeo'women' is making it all totally inaccurate and therefore pointless. YeoMEN are vestiges of English history, and anyone knows that a woman would never have been employed as a Yeoman.
This is now no longer part of our accurate history, turning it instead into just a fancy dress parade. I feel extremely angry and disgusted that the PC ranters have won yet again.

Oddly, the state education provided to Julia was not part of "accurate" British history. Neither was women being allowed to read newspapers. So where she gets off writing comments on newspaper articles is beyond me. The PC ranters have won yet again!
I also wonder about Julia's feelings on the electric lights and climate control installed in the Tower. Tourists might think that those had been there forever! I guess the AC/DC ranters won too. Damn you, Angus Young!
