Re: What do you think about the cuts in arts funding?

Er...that sounds like the idiocy of youth speaking.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. Especially when it's their taxes funding the garbage maquerading as art.

As someone who's proud to come from a nothern mill town, but who also happens to be public school educated, with an honours degree in art, and who worked in a creative, yet commercial world, in the capital and throughout the world, for the majority of his life, I can quite happily say that cuts in funding won't affect the arts that are wanted, and appreciated, but happily it will see the end of much of the dross that's funded from the public purse, and supposedly has artistic merit.

Come back when you've left full time education, and you're working....and funding this crud.

In the meantime congratulations on the stupidest post of the month.

Jolly well done you.
