Must be great to have friends in such exalted positions of power.
But it still doesn't answer the question as to why the funding costs of the flash mob were 'released', before the event had taken place.
Which rather makes a mockery of the excuse that the event's worth to us should be decided upon after it has taken place.
If, as the culture minister said last weekend, that there should be transparency regarding publicly funded arts, it seems rather churlish not to give the tax payer who've funded it, all the information now.
Instead the information has to be requested under the Freedom of Information Act, Taking up the valuable time of some poor sod at H.B.C., and with the probability that the costings might be in the public arena before the event, anyway.
There's nothing like transparency.
Sadly, this is nothing like it.
