Jack the Ripper museum founder gets death threats

The founder of a Jack the Ripper Museum has revealed he has received death threats from anti-gentrification protesters — but insisted he won’t give in to their “bullying” tactics.

Police were called in to protect the museum after anarchist activists threatened to protest outside it as a follow-up to their cereal cafe demonstration, where they daubed graffiti and broke windows.

The protest was called off at the 11th hour by activist group Class War and just a handful of people turned up to criticise the “Manhattanisation” of London’s East End.
