The excitable new minister of sports, arts and culture promised to reveal a list of artists who benefited unfairly from public funds from his department. However, when the list was made public it turned out they were beneficiaries of a Covid relief programme that assisted artists who were out of work during lockdown.
It has also emerged that some of the people this McMampara claimed were recipients never received a cent. Surely if Gayton is so desperate to become a popular minister there must be positive interventions he can make in his department without exploiting the suffering of artists.
Gayton don't baiza by running your department from your X account. The world doesn't need another Donald Trump.
