Why Are Taxpayers Being Charged £1.7 Million for a Theatre That Discriminates Against White People?
In March, Daily Sceptic readers may remember I wrote about the Javaad Alipoor Company, a theatre that aims to highlight “the rise of the Far Right, the ongoing climate emergency and the rights of migrants, refugees and minorities”.
It is no anomaly in terms of taxpayer-funded theatres (receiving £742,310 in government grants from 2020-24). Today I wanted to introduce readers to the even more woke Tamasha Theatre, which received £1,702,950 from taxpayers between 2020-24.

Regarding climate change, it’s interesting that nearly all the scientists and politicians who are insisting that we (the Europeans) must set an example or give a lead are white males (many old white males) and most of the countries that are ignoring them and going their own way by using fossil fuels for energy security, poverty eradication and economic growth comprise essentially the whole of the Global Majority (over 80% of humanity).
Now there you go again with your Eurocentric ‘facts’.
21st century facts are whatever you believe them to be, it makes life so much easier! (Ask Kneel or Mad Ed).
Spot on.
In the case of the Met Office, 21st century facts are made up to support ‘climate change’.
There’s a simple solution to this “problem”. The state is not permitted to give our money to “the arts” (or to anything else not specifically enumerated in a constitution only amendable by a supermajority of votes). That way, people get exactly “the arts” they want and are prepared to pay for with their own money. Suggest this to most people and they will think you are a crackpot.
There is a problem with your solution tof – we no longer have a “free / independent ” electorate. Voting for pretty much anything these days defaults on sectarian lines and this will simply get worse.
Yes things don’t look good
Grandfather Simpson rides again: “The solution is simple! Shoot them all, the Lord will know his own people!” Except that – for the given case – this isn’t a solution at all because the problem is misuse of public funds under the pretext of doing X with it being generally accepted that doing X is a principally sensible use of public funds and not the eternal quest for Marxist utopia. Trivially, if public funds aren’t spent on anything, they cannot be spent on something people don’t want them to be spent on. But they also cannot be spent on anything people do actually support. For a practical example, Great Britain goes to pretty great lenghts to conserve a wooden first rate ship of the line because it was Nelson’s flagship at Trafalgar. That’s far beyond what most people could afford who probably agree with this being done unless they pool their resources aka let the state do it and contribute a few pennies each. To demonstrate the validity of your claim that people don’t really want that, please create a petition to break HMS Victory up for firewood which gets at least as many signatures that it’ll be discussed in… Read more »
If people want to preserve ships, they can pay for it themselves. Don’t steal my money to do it. You only get to demand money with menaces for things that are completely non excludable, essential public goods. The use of public funds for the arts will always broadly represent the prevailing political agenda. Back when that agenda was closer to my world view, the funds may have gone to things I approved of, but other people didn’t. It’s inevitable.
I’m involved with this in any way.
You’re living under jurisdiction of the government of the UK. Hence, you have to pay taxes to it according to what parliament decided about this. If this bothers you, you’ll either have to move to a jurisdiction where the rules are more to your liking or create your own sovereign territory somewhere. But you’ll then have to be able to defend it yourself against any other non-state or state actor who might want to take it from you.
Indeed this sad state of affairs will continue long after I am gone, and this includes the funding of the groups mentioned in the article. That doesn’t make it right, in my eyes.
Why Are Taxpayers Being Charged £1.7 Million for a Theatre That Discriminates Against White People?
Because the destruction of our people’s culture and civilisation is a vital component of the genocide of whites which is gathering pace under the umbrella of the Great Replacement. The real question is why is the Great Replacement the central and most fundamental policy of our decadent, degenerate, and deranged rulers?
I’ve always wondered why the UK, an essentially white heritage and history country, *must* deny that and have to be seen to support the global ethnicity balance. Do these other non-white countries insist that they must have only-white theatre production casts, at the expense of their native population? Of course not, that would be accused of being ‘racist’.
Just interested in others’ viewpoints. Is it safe to say that there are more patriots ( so ‘right-wing’, may be another descriptor ) within the working classes as opposed to the middle classes? Does this mean there are more Leftards in the middle class section of society? It’s just the impression I get, but not sure if I’m being a bit too general. In the context of the theatre, anyone can go to the theatre on occasion but I suspect it’s the middle classes that make up the bulk of the regular theatre-goers. And you can have a confident guess at the sort that would contemplate going to see the tripe Charlotte has featured above. I don’t think the difference in attitudes between working and middle class people can conveniently be put down to having a university education or not, so I’m not sure what gives, but I get the impression most of the traitors/virtue-signalers come from middle and upper class peeps; ”Talking to a group of pleasant, clever socialists last night, it hit me that the defining characteristic of the Left is not compassion; rather, it is the conviction that compassion is unique to their side, leading to a… Read more »
Yup most white working class people I know are fairly conservative patriots and most white middle class people I know are globalist champagne socialists
The far left suffers from convincing itself it is always right – remember that Corbyn really won in 2019 if only the message had been delivered correctly – when we know that they never are. I am middle class and went to university to work in engineering before discovering life was better working for the council as engineering jobs dried up – I could run through a long list of deceased companies or ones no longer located in my region – but you can put me down as extreme right and proud of it.
Don’t know.
How about the divide rural vs urban?
I may also be wrong, but have the impression that rural folks have more common sense and are more in tune with life.
“Earlier this year its artistic director Pooja Ghai wrote a piece for the Stage titled ‘We must decolonise the theatre sector’, arguing that “it’s time to reframe the Eurocentric lens through which theatre is usually made, often to the detriment [of] global-majority artists”.
Why should the theatre sector be ‘decolonised,’ – non-white code for being emptied of whites?
Why should the theatre industry be’reframed?’ I have been blessed to be born English, my heritage is English and British, more than ever I have no interest whatsoever in theatre that does not reflect my heritage and I certainly resent my taxes being used to fund this ‘reframed’ crap.
Taxpayers money being used yet again to undermine British culture. That is sickeningly and gratuitously offensive. But expected.
Charlotte, great work. Please join Reform’s DOGE team.
More great work from Charlotte. A small criticism – what are the figures for the incomes for these far left theatres from punters actually turning up to watch what must be the most awful drivel? I am probably not alone in thinking ‘not very much’ hence without taxpayers cash they would disappear with no sadness on my part.
“Palestine”, “Queers”, “Climate emergency”, “Global majority”… that’s what I call NBU (No Box Unticked)… or ABT(All Boxes Ticked)… or TAB (Ticks All Boxes).
That all-female line up in the Beyond Face link – is that the entire GM population of the South West? Not exactly Widdecombe Fair, is it… nor even Old Uncle Tom Cobley and All. Every one a Grockle!
I have never seen so many charities in my life than in Britain. Don’t want yo work a real job? Start a charity. It can be for anything you want and it will be tax deductible, help no one and waste everyone’s time. What a racket.
