So Scotland is undertaking a cultural review. But what’s that mean? “A scan down the Cultural Policy Statement was enough to send readers cross-eyed trying to find meaning in the too-polished sentences. I have little idea what an ‘effective, sustainable infrastructure for our arts, heritage, screen and creative industries’ is. Nor do I like the suggestion that creativity is ‘the edge we need in a competitive world’. It’s wrong to evaluate the arts as a pounds-shillings-and-pence tool of business. We should enjoy and pursue them for their own sake.”
