All part of painting a picture of a bloated and wasteful public body in need of some austerity therapy.
In fact the increases in the AC budget over the past few years brought us from near the bottom of EU funding of the arts, to somewhere in the middle.

Starting a rage bait article with a report on staffing increases in the arts is quite a statement. “Staffing at the council has increased from 36 people employed full-time in 2015 to 114 in 2023, the reports disclose. Staffing has more than doubled since 2020.” Surely that’s a good thing?

Turned savage. We just sit tight while wind dives
And strafes invisibly. Space is a salvo,
We are bombarded by the empty air.

A favorite practice this time of year is listening to non-Christmas albums that I associate with Christmas because I got the CD on Christmas morning. Here's to my dad for insisting Santa was still doing his thing when I was 16.
