Where There’s Muck There’s Brass
Labour attack dog Michael Dugher went off on one in the Mirror this weekend, slating the “snobbery” of government arts cuts and the decision to award the British Federation of Brass Bands a grant of of just £23,000 last year. So how much did the Federation receive under the obviously less snobbish and much more generous Labour government? According to their accounts, in 2009 the Arts Council grant to the BFBB was a whopping £23,941, while in 2008 it was £23,313. Cuts? What cuts?
Umpah Umpah Stick it up your jumper.
Not enough muck about, I say.
I flippin’ ‘ate brass bands
Why should the state fund brass bands?
Go and give your brass knob a polish 8illy.
We fund your sad life
The government shouldn’t subsidise art at all. If it’s good enough people will pay for it, if it isn’t they won’t. Simples.
I likes a Brass Band
NO taxpayers money should go to ANY of the arts. Let them live in the real world like other businesses. Those that can, do. Those that can’t can collapse and die, like other crappy businesses.
Why do I have to pay more in taxes to subsidies someone else’s jollies?
Unless you’ve starved in a garret for many years, you’ve no right to be called an artist.
Dugher should stop blowing his own trumpet.
The Ex-Union (AEEU Ken Jackson) 5hithole Dugher personifies The Deluded & Duped Socialist Marxist Commies that come out of the likes of Warwick Uni.
His personal antics – were copied from the now redundant:- red-star-research website.
Time is catching up with Mr Dugher for his dirtier dealings for Hoon and Bliar and their ‘friends’.
Dugher is an arsewipe. Get a proper job Dugher, and stop scrounging off the taxpayer, you parasite.
Hate arts being used as a pistol whip for day to day life nodern politics, but still. What do you say, Gilbert and George?
fuck off with your fucking video links you fucker
Gastric Brass Band.
As a Brass band Pilgrim this is disgusting
Mrs Jowell throws her toys out of the pram, again

Dame Tessa Jowell has hit back at the suggestion that the original separation between her and husband David Mills back in 2006 was little more than a career-saving exercise.
BUT>>> seen yesterday strolling arm-in -arm in Waitrose
Coo eee
Waitrose?
They’re socialists, didn’t you mean the Co-op? or Aldi? or Lidl?
Posh shop Waitrose. Only place I have found that will sell you a pheasant when in seasom, in Sept. Though I have to warble my throught and sound like an old general to get one. Quite exclusive it is.
Aldis? Brilliant cheap spuds – well recommend that shop, for fruit and veg.

Is Dan Hodges really playing a long game for Jon Cruddas?
Hodges n.o. 34 (7hrs 35 mins, 370 balls, 4s 1, 6s 0)
… scoring runs seemed ‘a disagreeable, even vulgar, distraction from the pure task of surviving’
I think that I just heard a poor dear on Vicky Pollard’s show complaining about the loss of her child benefit. Only earning around £80,000. My heart bleeds.
BBC’s Vicky was doing her best to stir things up, nowhere though taking the time to talk about the shear scale and size of the unfathomable economic chasm the country was cast into by Brown and Balls.
If we don’t cut child benefits where is the ‘effin money going to come from for the Black Dykes of the world?
The purposes of arts funding are to radiate government niceness and try to cadge some votes from the exquisite classes. The effect of arts funding is to keep the arts tame and dull.
That’s my lad! You tell ‘em, Mikey Baby! Just nine hundred less, but it’s still a “cut,” innit? Never let up– never let up! We’ve got ‘em on the run now! We have the weapon of the truth on our side, such as it is!
And believe me, if anybody would know about brass, it’d be you and I!
Lefties lie… whats new?
I thought the olympics had been and gone. Another gold medal for brass neck hypocrisy !
They also have a ladies’ section called The Bras Band
The Mirror article says the band need £12,000 per month to survive. Why? They are, like all brass bands I know, an amateur organisation. Try to book them for a concert and you will get the shock of your life at the amount they charge.
British Federation of Brass Monkeys….shurley!
Where there’s Labour there’s shite.
