Keep sharing

@The0xReport Also. Interesting fact. For every pound given to the arts by funding, £8 comes back into the economy. The arts are worth billions. Over and out.

@CarruthersLizz @EquityUK Those are real jobs Liz. Paid for by paying customers.

HUNDREDS of you have turned out at Holyrood to say no to the death of the arts in Scotland. Together we’re sending our message loud and clear: Stop the cuts - tax wealth instead!

@The0xReport @EquityUK But in between those jobs most actors (apart from the big stars) are working in bars, doing workshops for kids and temping office jobs. And how do the big stars get big? By doing theatre and learning their trade.

@The0xReport @EquityUK I just mean that if all the actors on any tv or film you watch ‘got a real job’ you’d have nothing to watch.

@CarruthersLizz @EquityUK I voluntarily pay for various services, Netflix doesn't garnish my wages Liz

@The0xReport @EquityUK Do you watch Netflix?

@EquityUK Sorry folks, get a real job

@JamesMcCus13857 @reece_dinsdale @Meeshlwills Yes.

@reece_dinsdale @Meeshlwills A six ft bloke in women's toilets is non- threatening?

@reece_dinsdale I’m none of those. Please follow me back x

@nowak_paul Whaaaat?

Yep, it’s exactly the same isn’t it. 🙄😔 I’m disgusted but not surprised that the former Minister for Common-sense (sic) would use this analogy.

We're at the point where virtually the entire Scottish cultural sector is in open rebellion against the national government for its treatment of the arts, partly because every element of the industry is at now at serious risk on some level. Unreal.

Come join us!

@Beathhigh @JaneyGodley Are you going to see a play?

@JosieLong Totally.

Now he gets it!

@D_Blanchflower @UKLabour Absolutely!

@CoraBissett @AngusRobertson @JohnSwinney Couldn't agree more.

Please listen to us @AngusRobertson @JohnSwinney Yes funds are going to the Arts but you need to understand that the Open Fund is where it starts. You can't just fund the top end. We know funds aren't limitless, but there has to better solutions here. #NoArtWithoutArtists
