What Can We Expect From Britain’s New Culture Secretary?

Charlotte Higgins: “First of all, [Jeremy Hunt is] a nice man. Bright, thoughtful. Extremely personable. Amiable, in the way that those entitlement-complex-afflicted Etonian colleagues of his are often not. … He also ‘gets’ the arts – as in, he appreciates they are not some piece of luxurious add-on to British public life, but are essential to the lifeblood of the country … But what we can expect is blood on the floor.”
