Thank you Tate!

Wonderful. Responsibility is a wonderful thing. Quite a great article, down to the last sentence. Thank you for publishing.

This is excellent news. The art community standing up to penance philanthropism and maybe recognising they do have a real voice in rejecting it. But they won’t 😅

OxyContin helped to keep my Dad free from pain when he was dying of oesphageal cancer. It's wrong to castigate a drug that helps people. There will always be some who abuse any substance, but please don't stop it being available to the sick and dying.

don't you mean bribes

bit late but it's something i guess
