Bristol Arts funding cuts: how ‘cultural social services’ are hit

[@hansoconner6898]

I used to work with charities, and in the last ten years of austerity, recession, and global pandemic, councils have cut youth projects, disability services, and many others. I didn't think they had anything left to cut?!?! They have sent billions to Ukraine and wasted and pocketed lots more with the PPE scandal?!?! The arts had already been slashed years ago during the global banking crisis, and it only just started to show signs of growth again.

Reinstate the Coulston statue? That would save money.

The Bristol people did nothing on the toppling of statues . This is the next step . So what do they expect.

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

"This is the next step"? Are you saying topling statues is about cuts to services? Probably, nowadays its any excuse for know nothings to find a "cause". I wonder when theyre going to burn down penryhn castle because lord penryhn had 10000 slaves? Theyre not, their education doesnt allow them to know that one 😂😂. They choose anything local that brings attention. Pain in the butt everyone of them!

Don’t worry, the way Bristol is going, most of the arts will be banned as blasphemy soon enough.

Bristol is the San Francisco of Britain.

No news about "Yana Mir on Kashmir in UK parliament" on Channel 4? Why? Propaganda?
