Your initial posts were barely coherent though. I couldn't really understand what point you were trying to make. It's perhaps best to be precise in your meaning before accusing others of missing the point, given there was no easily discernible point being made.

And I don't think 'people who I assume have less life experience than me shouldn't be able to get funding for an arts degree' is a great argument anyway. It's petty gatekeeping.

I’m not sure I can comment on the gist of how this thread is going as my head’s a bit fuzzy from too many babyshams.
I’m pretty worried about the long term effect of this proposal. Funding and priority for the Arts has already been decimated at secondary school level and the impact of this will be felt even wider.
Not being a ‘strategic priority’ feels like a kick in the nads as personally music, comedy, podcasts, live streams and a bit of gaming got me through the last 15 months when there didn’t seem much light.
My job is within the creative industry (within music and alternative education) and the 50% arts cut proposal is very troubling. The Arts covers music, radio, dance, film, design and so much more. The jobs the sector supports can be anything from a 1st rung opportunity running for a film production to audio and lighting engineers, set designers before you even get to ‘the artists’ themselves.
I’m not sure how much the government really values the £10.8 billion (and growing) industry it’s about to stifle. The Arts aren’t just a flouncy subject and about a theatre production of a 2hr ‘difficult to watch naked monologue about the pains of being governed by one’s own genitals’.
If anyone here has danced in a nightclub, been to a gig, listened to Spotify, watched Netflix or turned on the radio, put some artwork on your wall, that’s all ‘The Arts’ and the creative industries.
Regardless of anyone’s political persuasions a world without the arts (or a hamstrung sector) is a soulless place.
Apologies for the ramble, this forum is the closest I get to social media.
In this wonderful land money is now more important than the soul.

Tories in being cultural and social vandals shocker. The arts are strongly linked to community projects and the like, so no wonder they want to cut funding.

Art and culture is just lefty wokeism. They'll ban galleries soon.

But of course there are exemptions for classical music students. We don't want another Banksy on our hands but we also don't want to cancel Glyndebourne either.

It's what all the art students used to tell me whilst propping up the uni bar..... I can't even draw straight line
I was rubbish at art, gave it up before O-Level, even. But I did do a History of Art course many years later, which gave me quite an appreciation for the subject, even a lot of modern art (which I had rather derided before).
