A bit of plain speaking:

Nicholas Hytner, director of the National Theatre has attacked the Arts Council of England saying that it has lost its way and spent too much time producing "glossy brochures that are, bluntly, bollocks". He added "They don't just invent boll***s, they live the boll***s".

What a lovely response to the news that 1 in 5 cultural organisations funding has been/will be cut by ACE.
