-SARCASM ALERT-

On 1st October Stan’s Cafe ceased to be in receipt of Revenue Funding from Birmingham City Council. We’re not alone, the last time I did the sums it appeared 50% of the City’s revenue funded portfolio was being cut by 100% to save 2.6% of the Arts Revenue budget. I can’t conceive how the city missed out on its last two bids to be crowned a Capital/City of Culture.
