Is this the biggest socialist advance since the war?

I see your point to and extent but who are you to judge. The arts bring in a significant amount of money dont they. We all want to be entertained dont we. Do you think its right that the qualifiction to be a Nurse is a degree and that you have to pay £27k tuition fees for example. Isnt it about where you draw a line. Do we charge apprentices for their college courses, or deduct money for the on the job training. Do employers charge employees for training courses to allow them to do their jobs. Kids have to go to school till they are 18 in most cases. Lets charge tuition for 6th form colleges. Dont stop there, what about schools......

 

Yeah. Or medicine or engineering or something else that might end up putting well-educated and informed people in important positions. Let's make education unattractive to the clever but poor so that our country really does go down the pan.
Also, I wonder how much West End Theatre contributes to the tourist economy of our capital city? Shoot them all and let's go back to living in caves...

 

Would you like to make a list of what is 'worthwhile'? I'm just about to lose my job because people think there is no value in learning about the arts and frankly it makes me feel like jumping off a cliff to hear people talk like that. What was the point of my life..?

 

In a nutshell all we have to do is vote a Labour government in and all our problems simply melt away, Mr Corbyn negotiates the perfect Brexit deal, no more unemployment, no more debt, free school meals, free university, free prescriptions, free care for the elderly, free dentists I'm in

 

Sod it lets bring back workhouses. Oliver got plenty didn't he

 

In 2006 (before the bankers crashed the lot) the creative Industries (which include dance!) were the second largest contributor to the GDP (info available online). For every £1 spent there was a £6 return to the economy.
Who was the first? The financial sector.

So, what value does that dance degree or dance teacher have? More than just significantly contributing to the GDP.

Yes they did but only for crappy universities that taught them. Again its about where you draw the line. Your example is amusing but ive never heard of that course being taught at a credible UK university but i could be wrong.

 

Are you called tattoo and have you spotted the plane - tell the boss

 

Think your moving the argument away from the point completely. But i think go for it Red Baz!
