If someone was alleged to have pinched £500,000+ from Labour funding, how likely is it the UK media would try to blame the Labour Party? The answer is, of course, that they wouldn't. Such coverage is specially reserved for one specific Scottish party.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.
