The next cut is the deepest: scene from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Members of the artistic communities have been campaigning for weeks now against the imminent cuts in the subsidies given to the arts (see David Shrigley’s clever video here).

These are the lucky ones – the Arts Council has indicated that some bodies will have their entire grant removed.
