Here's WTF happened last week:
1️⃣ A survey reveals that a disproportionate number of arts leaders in the UK were privately educated and went to the universities of Oxford or Cambridge, with concerns this is reinforcing the perception that the arts is inaccessible to working-class people.

>>Why not pay for the statue of the Queen using money from the Sovereign Grant, an annual taxpayer-funded settlement that’s the main source income for the British monarchy? The grant for 2024–25 is £86.3 million, the vast majority of which is spent on the upkeep of properties and staff costs. Why doesn’t the royal family live more frugally for a few months and pay for the statue itself?<<

Attached: 1 image Westminster Council is threatening to stamp out affordable family entertainment in the West End, by imposing expensive, heavy handed and unnecessary licenses on Covent Garden Street Performers, with punitive fines imposed on Equity members. We're calling on Westminster Councillors to vote against the proposed licensing of Street Performance in Covent Garden: https://www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/save-covent-garden-street-performers
