Some unscientific observations on the current ructions in Scottish arts funding, stimulated by our EIBF event yesterday (thanks to all - joycemcmillan, Kieran Hurley, ruth wishart and James Robertson). No crystal ball but we can begin to see the outlines of a shifting landscape 1/n

Gads. This place is *awful* now, huh? Just stock full of blue-ticked golf club bores and out racists and muskatoids. Horrible.

What a dismal dump Edinburgh Airport International Arrivals is - it’s a warren, people off long flights forced to walk up and down stairs with bags and cases. Worn out dirty floors, messy litter everywhere…welcome to the UK!

And then get on the main Scottish Citylink bus to Glasgow, and pay £15 for a vomit nostrilled ride. Not the first time I’ve got on this service to find sick all over the floor. Dearie me what do foreigners think!
