For sure lots of us will have colleagues and friends in England that have been affected by the funding decisions announced last week by Arts Council England. We were sent a link to the full list of organisations that have had their funding withdrawn - it reads like a list of passengers lost in a shipwreck.
It makes you think about the rights and wrongs of all this - and also that we need to be thinking this stuff through in the Scottish context. There is the 'big picture' of the value of culture...but I figure we all need to stand together on that (?)...then there IS the question of the best way for a democratic society to 'support/invest' in its culture with limited resources.
