Great spot from Douglas Murray. An equally great spot from @the_tpa, where we've found that the organisation behind this ghastly display has received over £3 million in taxpayer funding since 2018

And before someone intentionally misunderstands this: I'm obviously not saying that arts subsidies should depend on the artist's political persuasion. I'm saying that arts and culture should not be subsidised. Pay for your own hobbies.

And in a sense – that's entirely correct. They're in government, but they have zero cultural power. So they develop a version of imposter syndrome.

(a friend who is a literary agent told me that he cannot even get editors to read first novels by young white male writers, no matter how good; they are just not interested. this is heartbreaking for writers who may, in fact, be brilliant, & critical of their own "privilege.") https://t.co/GmtVY8lbCV

Remember, any employer that follows the Stonewall law is at risk of breaking the actual law and could end up in an employment tribunal. Stonewall is finished.
