Arts cuts not at all chilling.

The Independent has a slightly dishonest headline “Funding cuts 'chilling' says arts chief” When it’s actually the Shadow Culture Secretary who said it. It’s a massive leap to call them a chief. Also whilst it is disappointing they have arts cuts it is by no means essential spending. The only things we should be spending much money on are education, the courts and police, healthcare, job creation and lastly defence. Everything else is frivolous and should be subject to big big cuts until the economy is back on its feet and tax revenues increase. Whilst people are losing their jobs and are going into debt spending much if any money on the arts is a slap in the face to those who are suffering due to the economic climate.
