I am pleased[ JOKING ASIDE] EFDSS has got this money.
in fact I am pleased both the olympics and efdss have got money, but   lets be honest many more people are interested in the olympics[unfortunately] than in English traditional music, FURTHERMORE the olympics will employ many more people of different social backgrounds and help to distribute money and create wealth,jobs, etc , to a far greater capacity.
unemploymnent is number one priority. The Funding of the olympics is a very good idea, it is ridiculous to suggest that efdss should receive the same amount of money as the olympics, but not ridiculous to argue that EFFDSS should receive perhaps 20 per cent more, and the olympics twenty per cent less.
so instead of this
The Full English - £645,400 (if full funding is granted).

Olympics - £9,300,000,000 (last National Audit Office estimate
this,
Olympics 7 ,300, 000, OOO, FULL ENGLISH ;750,000
