Pretty sure the current Tories would happily lose all art (see education focus and slashing of both local government budgets and direct subsidies).
Jumping from racism through sexism and ending at ‘I don’t like this because those people do like it’ seems a bit of a stretch to me.
I really don’t think you can write off all ‘high’ art as synonymous with the establishment, especially combined with the idea that excellence might be putting people off participation. Would you say the same about elite sport?
