Marvellous body of work at exhibition
THE radical drawing exibition at the Herbert is wonderful.
It draws together a marvellous body of extraordinary work from different collections.
One of which is the Courtaulds gallery, a place I have been many times, but it wasn’t until I sat and listened to the tape of Coventry employees that it occured to me how sad it was Courtaulds left Coventry after many years without a lasting legacy to the city that made them great.
A simple scholarship or financial prize in the arts or some like would be appropriate.
Let’s get this done for our City of Culture.

The Tories cannot be trusted with the NHS
JEREMY Corbyn’s accusation that Boris Johnson is hijacking Brexit and opening the door to Donald Trump is exploding into a major election issue.
The cosy links exposed between The White House and US drug firms will fuel fears that Trump wants a big slice of the £130billion NHS pie, as payment for any trade deal.
Denials by the Tories and their rogue right-wing ally in the Oval Office deserves to be taken with an unhealthily large pinch of salt. When Johnson isn’t ruling out privatisation and Trump is on record demanding the NHS is on the table, Corbyn’s championing of our most precious public service following nine years of Tory financial hardship confirms they cant be trusted with the NHS.
We want a health service publicly owned and run in Britain, because the care is cheaper and better, with fewer resources siphoned off as profits, either here, or across the Atlantic. Brexit is important, but the future of the NHS is a matter of life or death.
