So it’s been a roaring success in the eyes of the government shill who spends his life in Cyprus?

Given the Tories don't give a shit about the arts this is a very apt story. They see no value in the arts as it doesn't generate profits. WRONG - It generates massive profits and internationally but the so called "intelleckshulls" in the Tory Party can't see that - maybe now they and some of their mates may be seeing a devaluation in the art portfolio they may wake up

A contempt for the arts and for intellectuals is a common attribute of fascists. Not that the Tories are fascists, of course. They just like some of the rhetoric. It appeals to the hard of thinking.

A bit unfair.
I‘m sure there are one or two tories who recognise the psychological benefits of artworks such as murals of well known cartoon characters.
Not highbrow but quite significant to certain people.

I'd put that down as a Brexit benefit tbh.
Sotherbys isn't about art and culture it's purely about inflating assets of obscenely wealthy People.

Accountable? The cunts got 40% of the vote and have done what the fuck they want for the last four years. How is that democratic and how does that make them accountable?
It’s not the voting system but rather because the left spend their entire lives fighting with each other….allowing the win on a minority who can remain cohesive. There is a reason Starmer is looking to split the right and letting the left crack on with their squabbles.

Have to say I’m uncertain.Sorry to see you post that...............
Your posts over the last couple of days have offered more sense that the last 7 years of an echo chamber limited to a group seeking to provide reassurance to each other.
Still - as I mentioned to a poster the other day:
"............I wish you well with your objectivity - although I strongly doubt your views will be tolerated and I expect that you will soon find a 'gang' of posters coming on to ridicule what you post - rather than debate it."
They cannot debate - you must join the group and comply
Shame - but cannot blame you - most people have better things to do with their time.
Though..........
FWIW - if you had been on the thread longer you would have realised that the cheesemonger's post should not have been been taken other than with a sense of admiration.
He artfully holds up a mirror to the nonsense that the pack spout - really quite a sharp individual IMO
Anyway - come on CITY smash the fucking Tarquins tomorrow - now there is a view that will secure consensus
I Know a lot of people on here are suggesting you’ve been on here under a different name before.
I’m going to ask you out straight.
Are you the same poster that went by mcfc_1636 or some such moniker.
If you are you are. If you’re not you’re not.
But I argued lengthily about what Brexit meant for the North of Ireland and the GFA ultimately.
I was more or less told, so be it.
I would like to know whether that’s you or not.
If not, apologies. Let’s carry on.
Now I can't stop thinking of Suella Braverman saying "When I hear the word 'culture', I reach for my gun" (or even her photocopier).A contempt for the arts and for intellectuals is a common attribute of fascists. Not that the Tories are fascists, of course. They just like some of the rhetoric. It appeals to the hard of thinking.
