Full page article by Robert Booth about new Culture Secretary Sajid Javid in today's Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/apr/11/sajid-javid-a-wonderful-life-banker-culture-minister
The article quotes Mr Javid's view that appointments should be made on merit, not tokenism.
And yet his appointment as Culture Secretary could not be more tokenistic.
We shall see in the months to come the extent of his interest in art and culture.
What does he intend to do about the 15th century mural of The Last Judgement at Waltham Abbey, likely to fall of the wall unless urgently conserved?
Or the funerary brasses at Linwood church? http://www.pegasus-onlinezeitschrift.de/2010_1/erga_1_2010_lamp_en.pdf
Or the 1906 William Morris carpet at St Andrew's church in Roker?
