GIDEÖN

Given that @elizabeth.truss.mp and @conservatives budget fuck up just cost this country £30 billion and the UK spends £48.6 billion on arms each year it’s pitiful that they choose to overlook the value of UK cultural exports of world class institutions like @englishnationalopera . France invests €4 billion annually into culture. Despite opera’s problems as a genre I am must confess that seeing Satygraha by Philip Glass sung by Christopher Keene in 2017 at ENO was the single greatest musical experience of my life. The prospect of losing ENO is a tradgrdy. The sooner this shortsighted Tory muppet show sinks the better. Resist cultural vandalism now ⚰️. This is about way more than just the ENO. This is about the Tory agenda to dismantle the arts in the UK!
