Culture cuts at the heart

MLA chair Andrew Motion warns against spending threats

If cuts fall in any of the areas which might be considered ‘cultural’ they will cut away the things that make us the best versions of who we are, says the MLA Chair. There’s going to be a lot of reasons to forget this, and a lot of pressure to deny this over the coming months and years, as local and national government goes about its necessary cost-cutting. Resist that pressure. Argue it away.
