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?
Borrowing a term … Wales in the iron grip of Woke insanity.
I guess that the great film 'Zulu' will be banned forever, and the museum in the barracks in Brecon will be closed and cleared out and used for storing all the statues and art pieces which showed why the country was once so great...
Sam - I think the Labour Party has always had a streak of Fabian insanity with a common theme of virtue-signalling. The virtue itself doesn't seem to matter as much as the signalling, it just has to be fashionable within the right circles.
As if at one time the virtue included the hard life of the mines - from a distance. Now it doesn't include the mines but the Labour brand still sells. Starmer may even manage to change that.
Anon - yes, as if Welsh politicians just like the feel on an iron grip.
Scrobs - as things are it will all come in one way or another. The days of achievement are over.
Here's some virtue-signalling from the olden days.
