The only way you'd get people going to a gallery nowadays is if you offered them a look in at a shag.

The details of this where they have documented concerns being raised internally are unreal. Hard to imagine what they were thinking!

It's a shame because arts council funding is a lifeline for independent artists/producers who are trying to create something which might be more niche or outside the mainstream. Let's hope that this doesn't affect other projects which might be provocative but maybe not as controversial as this proposal.

No money for the Aye Write festival but 85k for weirdos to spaff on stage.

Ok so they got some back. How the fuck are they justifying 25k for R&D? What did that involve if not coke and gash?

As an artist I welcome much diversity of thought. However stuff that just comes down to being titillating burlesque is tacky AF and not ‘Art’. Leave that low brow shite to the strip clubs in Edinburgh.

Isn't art where people aren't fucking as poor of a use of our finite public resources as art where people are?

If you want to make art, use your own resources or resources people agreed to give you, don't use people's taxes that could otherwise be spent on climate transition, defence, education, social servicies, etc...

And if you gunna use people's taxes for "cULtUrE", feel free to pay people to fuck L.M.A. O
