Revolting pro migrant propaganda being pushed on art school students

 

The Hereford College of Arts is, according to one of my sources in the area who sent me this story, the pre-eminent art teaching institution for the county of Herefordshire. It is the college that takes the young people of the area onto their first steps in a possible arts or media based career. Hereford College of Arts also has staff members who are engaging in some pretty intense Left wing, pro-migration propaganda projects.
One of these Left wing pro-migrant projects is a play whining about the government’s decision to stop the Dubs Amendment programme. This programme was one, heavily pushed by the Citizens UK group, that had been importing, much to the disgust of many Britons, a large number of ‘bearded children’ aka adult men, dishonestly described by pro-migrant groups as ‘children‘. This play or rather this whining rant is being put on by performing arts students with the encouragement of Performance Arts course leader Gillian Hipp, along with the local theatre company Open Sky and is due to be performed at the Hay Literary Festival on May 31st. Ms Hipp has a background in teaching movement in performing arts and has previously taught in London, a city that has been ‘enriched’ with violent thugs, jihad, rape, welfare parasitism and a host of other problems, by many of the very ‘refugees’ that Ms Hipp appears to support importing. You’d think wouldn’t you that she would know better after experiencing London? Sadly common sense, connectedness to the people and intelligence is not what we’ve come to expect of Britain’s art establishment in recent decades.

I also find it grossly insensitive on the part of the Hay Festival that at a time when Britain is suffering from Islamic terror attacks sometimes brought to us by Muslim ‘refugees’, they should still consider that this event is still suitable to continue. It shows contempt for the rest of us who pay for the art and literary establishment through public funding and support. It’s gross, truly gross, that during the time when Britons may be burying loved ones who have been murdered by Islamic savagery, Hay is putting on a performance that basically says ‘bring in more Muslims or own dead and abused don’t matter’. This show is a disgraceful bit of propaganda, aimed at young people and Hay should pull it and the taxpayer should not be forced to fund it any more.

Here’s reporter Ben Goddard writing in the Hereford Times with that publication’s story of the pro-migrant play being performed at Hay.

The Hereford Times said:

PERFORMING Arts students are aiming to highlight the suffering war brings to children through a powerful piece of theatre.

Hereford College of Arts students are due to perform their piece on child refugees to a sold out crowd at Hay Festival this weekend.

The students have collaborated with local children’s author Nicola Davies and Herefordshire’s innovative Open Sky Theatre Company to produce the piece.

Based on ‘The Day the War Came’ poem by Nicola, the play aims to show how war affects the lives of ordinary people all over the world, the play has been written in an accessible style for anyone over the age of nine.

Nicola was moved to action when the government withdrew its pledge to take in 3,000 unaccompanied child refugees to the UK. She had recently been told the story of a refugee child being turned away from a school because there weren’t enough chairs.

3000 Chairs’ is an uplifting and immersive show about a refugee child and the extraordinary power of kindness.

Nicola said: “The instigation for the story is that I feel everything related to war is set in the adult world – adults create war and adults report on war, and so on. Children are voiceless. Whilst parents always try to make it alright, sometimes they can’t and that’s where this story starts.”

Performance Arts course leader Gillian Hipp added: “We were keen to portray this as a story of something that could happen to anyone, anywhere.

“Whilst it’s a very challenging subject it has a hopeful resolution. Children see things in a very moral, black and white sort of way, which is why the piece ends as it does. Children simply want to help, they must help and they must act.”

3000 Chairs takes place at the Hay Festival on Sunday and next Wednesday May 31. Tickets for the event sold out within just a few days of their release.

This really looks a case of the arts establishment, which in this case looks like it is in whole or in part publicly funded, is feeding left wing pro-migrant propaganda to the students of Hereford College of Arts in order to put on a performance in front of a non challenging equally left leaning audience at Hay. This sort of propaganda is dangerous, unwanted and wasteful.

It is dangerous because it is feeding young people only one point of view and this propaganda tells those exposed to it by watching it or taking part in it that they should call for the entry of people who by the evidence of recent events at home and abroad, people we neither need or want. It’s also dangerous as it is a play that is obviously aimed at children as it is in the words of the author of the play, written in words understandable ‘by a nine year old’. This play is designed to tell nine year olds, possibly your nine year old if you have one, that they should welcome in those who have no right to be here and who will bring us nothing more than murder, rape, crime and welfare parasitism. To do that takes a degree of cynicism that is not just twisted, but could be considered as evil.

The propaganda being pumped into students at Hereford College of Arts may also be the sort that is highly unwelcome by parents and guardians of young people and may be by the students themselves. But, the left have such a stranglehold on the British education system that they have to imbibe and go along with this propaganda to get on in their courses. Parents and guardians should worry about what sort of guff is being pushed on their young people whether they be students at places like Hereford College of the Arts, or if they are pupil in a school. Too much of the information that young people are being fed in educational establishments about certain political matters, such as the migration crisis, is neither accurate or honest and neither does this bent teaching help our young people navigate the wider adult world. Projects such as the one mentioned above are the perfect instrument to enforce group-think on particular issues but useless at helping a person evaluate the world around them and express their findings in the form of an artwork or performance.

This bit of propaganda masquerading as an artwork is also wasteful. It’s wasteful of the talent of those performing it and putting it on and wasteful of the taxpayers money that has no doubt funded it to a greater or lesser degree. These are a number of resources that have been splurged on this project could have better been spent elsewhere rather than on a piece of tired Left wing agitprop.

This case starkly shows to the public just how insular and incestuous the art world has become. It has become a world where the left wing thought dominates and where publicly funded artists promote other publicly funded artists to produce left wing propaganda and rarely interact with or in the work they produce reflect the lives of, the ordinary people who pay their wages. Publicly funded art has become an incestuous racket made up of yes men and yes women who are not only unwillingly paid by us the British worker to produce left wing guff that only the Left would want to watch, but worse who are feeding this guff to our children. This is one show that deserves to be subjected to the sort of robust ridicule that ensures that it is never taken seriously again. Shameful dishonest project shameful propaganda and also shame on Hay for letting it be put on after recent events.
