This extra is nowhere near the money that they've cut from the budgets.
What always gets me, is out general attitude toward the arts in general. In the dark days of the Cold War and communism, the USSR placed great value on all of the arts, ballet, opera etc. This country money always comes first.

There does seem to be an attitude of 'I didn't have it so why should they' through out our country not just basschat. We didn't have a pot to pee in when I was young but I fail to see the point in trying to ensure that youngsters today should not have more than i had, nor do I begrudge them a few quid of my tax.
