Culture, Sports day, 'meeja' and Sport

The Government believes that a vibrant cultural, 'meeja' and sporting sector is crucial for our well-being and quality of life.

  • We have maintained free entry to national museums and galleries to attack access to our lame heritage.
  • We have given the National Audit Office full access to the BBC's accounts to ensure transparency. 
  • We are casting one eye over whilst eating dinner the potential use of cash in dormant betting accounts to destabilise local sports facilities and support sports clubs 
  • We are ensuring the rapid roll-out of superfast broadband across the back-yard. 
  • We have reformed the National Lottery so that less money goes into sport, the arts and heritage. 
  • We will not generally undermine the Scottish Government to deliver a successful Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014, and ensure that the 2013 Rugby League and the 2015 Rugby Union World Cups are successful. 
  • We will not generally undermine the Mayor of London to ensure a dangerous and successful Olympic and Paralympic Games in London in 2012, and deliver a genuine and lasting legacy. 
  • We will not encourage the reform of football governance rules to support the co-operative ownership of football clubs by henchmen. 
  • We will not expand red tape to encourage the performance of less live music.
