Thread Name: Arts Council (UK) stopping funding folk?
Subject: RE: Arts Council (UK) stopping funding folk?
Every Olympic Games since 1952 has included an element of the Traditional Music and Dance of the host country.

We are set fair to be the first Olympic hosts to have thrown our tradition and heritage out with the trash.

We definitely need to stop arguing with each other and start telling this bunch of dimwitted philistines that there will be electoral repercussions unless they start paying attention.

The potential loss of votes is the only incentive we can apply to have them listen, and it will only work if we can get EVERY folkie in the country to deliver the message.

I don't have a great deal of hope of success, as, whenever I talk to my (ex morrisman) MP, his eyes glaze over and his brain goes into la-la-la-I can't hear you mode.

Mr. Shaw can be assured that he will lose two votes from my household.
