The censorship of art works is one of the key charateristics of authoritarianism, and it is very much happening across England already

Please read and take your time to digest. It is a long and dark story, with various perspectives at play, and years of work behind the scenes. There is also more to come in the next few days.
CW: sexual abuse, violence, suicide, child abuse
How did theatremaker Chris Goode avoid scrutiny for so long? In a Long Read, Lyn Gardner talks to survivors and asks how such widespread abuse was able to occur

Listen, £1.whatever billion is good. Let’s not forget thought that *any* tory package of funding *always* comes with privatisation. Let’s wait and see and please, lets not use this to ‘go back to normal’. Normal is toxic and its what lead us to this in the first place.

The involvement in the brexit festival by highly respected artists is, to me, of such dissapointment I can barely breathe. The co-opting of narratives of togetherness and activism within such a structure is, at best, flawed. At worse? Fucking violent. There is no excuse.

The levels of nationalistic wash out here make me sick. The co-opting of the 'bringing people together' narrative for celebrations of nationalism, is something I will never ever forgive these people for. Fuck the festival of brexit.

Whilst the last few weeks have been the most intense ever, I got to learn something very simple: love more and more intensely, more radically and with less shame. They should never take away our capacity to love and be loved. Embrace your loved ones and love with intensity.

Still struggling with how the british are happy with thousands dead as long as they don't have to wear a mask in a shop and that the pubs are open. A collective cheering of the utmost stupidity, a hunger for capital with no purpose whilst hundreds die every day. Wild and vile.

I know it is frustrating. But it's been incredibly dark and damaging for many years, and I hope the truth will come out eventually. Hopefully that will come with sector change as well - that's what we are aiming for. So please be patient. And I am trully sorry for this situation.
