Here's a photograph of a group of SKTL members (with me on the far left) at the protest outside the parliament on Friday afternoon. It was a cold, wet, grey day, but at least we all had fun and the politicians were doing their best to convince us that they were actually listening to what we had to say... We'll see if anything ever happens, and whether the next government takes the financial struggles of those working in the arts any more seriously in the future.
Undoubtedly the wittiest placard of the day was Tiina's "Kersti Juva on hyvin vihainen": this just goes to show that, even if you live in darkest Wales, you can still make your voice heard in a protest at the other side of Europe. That's commitment for you!
