The Arts Council should, quite simply, not exist and should never have been created. Not because it funds politically biased, invariably left biased, material, although that is offensive enough. It should not exist because it is no business of the State to be funding any artistic endeavour of any description. All art should survive on the basis of its ability to obtain direct consumer patronage or private sponsorship. If that puts lots of so called artists out of business then so be it.
