Not twenty years ago we all managed to live side by side more amicably than we do now. It's only after the Government started ramming it down our throats that we have to bend over backwards to accomadate others cultures and faith that all the racial tension began. If someone was interested in another faith or culture then there's enough information out there for them to go and seek it for themself.
Instead, we have a massive amount of money in a Government pot that should be better spent, surely you can see peoples annoyance?

Yes, I can see people's annoyance, of course I can - the Government squanders money right left and centre in the health service with all the bureaucracy. It allocates millions to the health service already which it should spend on services and not civil servants. However, all the money in the country can not go to the health service, there has to be more to life than that.
There is a very small, almost miniscule percentage of government funding going to the arts - it's not the 1% that spent on the arts that is badly managed it's the rest of the 99%.
