I was speaking to him this morning , and not a word of the party politics of Hyndburn passed our lips . There are other things in life .

For Goya's sake!

This thread is about the value of publicly funded art.

Can we keep on thread, please.

There are plenty of other threads to continue the petty party political game of Squabbles.

Back on track.

Vesta Tilly, doing the breaststroke past the pound shop, how much?

That'll be the art bit.

The art of illusion.

What we're all dying to know, is how much that art cost, so we can better assess it's true worth, and value to us.

I'll keep treading water until we know.

As I, and it seems many others, totally agree with the culture minister, who this weekend said...

“There really must be full transparency for all publicly funded arts bodies.''

You quit the Conservatives before the Election, will you now quit talking out of your rear vent?

You know Neither party is perfect and that the 'Lib Dems' went for the best chance of power they could get, the only reason the Cons are where they are.

Not an out right win just a disgraceful Compromise, (I feel it would have been the same had they sucked up to Labour), Lets have another Election and see what happens?

What's happened so far will see you really down the Polls.

I would rather have a Majority Government of any party Than this pile of...

Now come on John, you have lived a long time(like me) and surely you must have realised by now that whichever party is in opposition, they always have all the answers, but because they are in opposition, lack the ability to do anything about the ills of the time.
Now when the party who knew the answers in opposition, get into power, they forget how they knew what to do when in opposition.

I hope you followed all that

John, the whole point of this thread is to question Tory spending in Hyndburn on the arts! By and large, it seems that the majority are questioning the amounts that have been thrown at it over the last few months.

Gary, answers coming through soon, keep treading water.

Answers requested for the Victorian swimming gala, the flash mob and also the Portable Pixel Playground which kicked the LET Project off in Hyndburn on 8th May.

Replies may take a while....

Great. Although we were informed the flash mob 'only' cost a thousand pounds to produce.

It will be of interest to know the other funding costs, when trying to decide the value to us, of these events

I'll get out of the pool now, and dry my ringlets, until we know the full costs.
