The UK Film Council has been abolished in the first step of a systemic attack on the arts. Clearly the coalition does not believe the arts are for everyone, only those who can afford it.
In order to make a good film you must be commercially successful and pander to the populus. Everything has its price for the Con-dems. Nothing is sacred and everything can be sacrificed in their rabid bid to reduce the size of the state. Never mind the 900 films the UK Film Council has funded and promoted in the last ten years. Who cares about the flurry of British cinema and the growth of the UK film industry far, far beyond anything the government did.
Labour made museums free for all because museums should be available for veryone, not just those who can afford it. It is a simple principle which equalises the so-called ‘high arts’ for everyone but it is being threatened. When will it be decided that we should pay for museum entry because it is not cost-effective. Anything that does not make the government money must go. Only the small state ideology is sacred, it is an obsession that is destroying everything in its path.
There is no heart, no passion, no culture, no style to this money-obssessed, cutting disgrace of a government. Every single one of us will be hit by these viscious cuts and Britain will be far, far poorer for it - in every way. The pace and sclae of the cuts are unneccessary, it isn’t happening in the US. Don’t let them lie to us that the deficit can’t be avoided, it can be.
