Governing is harder than virtue-signalling



Taxpayers’ money used to fund ‘anti-racist’ public artworks in Wales

The Welsh Government will hand out grants to build “anti-racist” public artworks in order to set the “right historic narrative”.

Labour has committed to making Wales “anti-racist by 2030”and issued advice on hiding or removing controversial statues of “old white men”.

Organisations will be able to claim between £3,000 and £15,000 in grant funding per project to create new artworks projecting the correct “narrative” and providing a “decolonised” view of history.


It's an interesting race. Which will attract the greatest celebration in 2030, an anti-racist Wales or Net Zero? I'll go for neither, I think we'll merely celebrate survival.

Maybe we need a World Survival Day, although even that would be corrupted by virtue-signalling.

Wales is a really odd case, isn't it. They have a political reputation of being hard-headed socialists, their views formed in exploitation and heavy industry like mining and steel. Yet they seem to have been captured by this nonsense. Is it just a new elite of complete idiots, or did the Labour Party always have this streak of insanity? Were they worried about anti-racism in the mines?
