From a friends Facebook page, I think I agree with the sentiment. It’s a bit apocalyptic, but things are getting bad for artist and performer friends.
Next time there’s a lockdown, nobody is allowed to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime or any other platform.
You must NOT listen to music or read a book.
Free online concerts from the biggest stars in the world? Nope, they’re out too.
Learn an instrument? Banned
Dance Classes? No
How about listen to an audiobook? Not a chance!
The UK Government have ordained the Arts as low skilled and, therefore, of no value.
Now imagine life without them

Same here in Australia, there’s been very little support for the arts, including performers and not forgetting all the background/ stage crew etc. Probably one of the most impacted industries aside from tourism.

Science is another area they cut back on here, I think they don’t want people thinking or creating, like it has no value.
