Is this the rub ? Is this the unanswerable case we are going to make to the government to get rid of a few benefits, sack some soldiers, close a few hospitals to protect Arts funding ? Really ? Speaking as an Artist, maybe Brian Sewell has a point.....

I'm not a fan of david shrigley and think his crap style is, well, a little bit crap but my main beef with this vdeo is that it re-states and reinforces the lie that cuts are inevitable. OK, there probably will be cuts but every time I hear someone say that something is 'inevitable' or that 'there is no alternative' I seem to hear the baaing of sheep queuing at the abattoir. I'd really expect a little bit better in the way of thinking from what is, i suppose, a major campaign for the arts.
