UK Coalition Govt. announces new "Tough on Arts" Policy

Artists flinch at 'honour' of hanging in Tory offices.
At least it's not out in the open on Tyburn Hill where anyone can watch. You'd think they'd appreciate the decorum and intimacy of a private vernissage with invited guests only.

Mr Vaizey did manage to cite one artist – Tracey Emin – among those on his walls whom he regards as Conservative supporters. "She is still hanging on by her fingernails," he said.

Simply vicious. I expect Mr. Vaizey to be found naked in a plexiglass container suspended in formaldehyde.

Could these not be botched auto-erotic asphyxiation attempts?

A similar fate befalls one of the characters in 10-Second Staircase.

Never heard of them. Are they good books?

I like them a lot, though I am aware that my literary preferences do not carry a lot of weight for everyone.
