Where would the disabled people be.. at the mercy of this so called caring state we live in….(this costing the state money) all the carers ask for is a little bit of respite from time to time … and this is being cut back… day centres and the like are closing down… the list is endless…
There is little enough support be it financial or emotional … cut backs should be made in other areas so these caring people have what they need… and sorry to say this but apart from love… the only area which will help disabled people is money: ( to provide much needed resources )
 
Back to the original topic …. YES funds should be cut for art and services of the like: in my opinion
