I have just voted and, of course, in favour of public funding for the arts... has already suffered under the cuts anyway.

Let's knock it on the head, shall we ? Nothing to our Institutions like the wonderful Science Museums, Galleries, British Museum and not forgetting smaller projects throughout the country of theatres and history museums of our lost industrial efforts, which are beyond the Metropolis of London.

We will now have to charge people for entering these establishments, so the poorer in our society will find it difficult if children in tow ... affecting the poorer.

Rely on patrons ... restricting their innovative artistic ability as they will have to feel restricted to remain in conservative gear.

Who will stroll into Haworth Art Gallery knowing there will be an entry fee ?

Ok ... next. Should we support Sports ?

Yes, I still would, even though (apart from swimming pools.. don't want our kids drowning in the local cut), can't see any advantage that a 20 minute walk wouldn't do to our health and safety.
