Let's hear it from the paper shufflers
mainArts Council England, shambolic and barely coherent, are demanding a right of reply to my Standpoint essay proposing a root-and-branch reform of arts funding.
I shall post their letter here once it appears in print, but the tactic will be, as usual, more a matter of collective vindication than of substantive debate.
My essay has been for the past 24 hours the most-read article on the Standpoint site and I am told that its arguments have been received by the Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, and others in government. Let Dame Liz and poor Alan Davey have their say. It is a shame they have to fiddle around with face-saving phrases while the arts are suffering slash and burn.
