The arts are a source of renewable and intangible value. This is well known and a cornerstone of the life I live. I would list my own interests but it would be largely masturbatory to do so. Unfortunately the growth and sustenance of British culture is largely hamstrung by the London centric governance of the last forty years. In many ways the entire brexit can be seen as an anti-London situation (everywhere but London and Scotland vote out, Scotland are on the SNP line who are anti-London). Know this. The best and the brightest all left the county I grew up in. They are told by their new peers that they should look down upon the places they came from. There should be no surprise that when my peers write verse it doesn't dream of home or that when they colour canvas it doesn't reveal our fells. But they will accompany to the local great garden, and sit upon the grass, and talk of love, confusion, hope, and futures.
