RIP Marianne Faithful. Here she is in the late 90s singing this rather lovely world weary version of Noel Coward's Mad About the Boy

Long since stopped watching the TV trash that is now #bbcqt but occasionally someone contributes something worth listening to.
So listen….
“Migrants, illegal or legal, weren’t responsible for austerity. They weren’t responsible for Brexit. They weren’t responsible for Liz Truss’ failure. Because of populist policies in the ‘30s Hitler was elected. If we follow the same blaming of migrants we will go the same way”

NEW: The Scottish Government has significantly increased its investment in culture, improving prospects for artists and organisations at a critical moment. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎉

It follows months of campaigning and a petition backed by 18,000 Campaign for the Arts supporters.

This is good news and for those of us that have rightly lobbied and indeed loudly moaned ( me!) we should congratulate @angusrobertson.bsky.social on successfully fighting the financial fight. Devil as always in the detail and I hope other parties will back the proposals.
🎭This Scottish Government budget is transformational for the culture sector in Scotland with a £34 million boost. Statement by Finance Secretary @shonarobison.bsky.social and thread on details below.👇🧵
