    Says the master of deflection - oh its from the most popular newspaper in the UK it must be lies!!! Oh look last week there was a story I didn't like so it also must be lies!

    Which bit are you doubting the value, the project or the findings?

    Interestingly, the claimed £800,000 was spent on what, exactly? The story seems to imply that it was spent on one report about Shakespeare. This may or may not be true.
    Odd the story about no whites etc was confirmed in the Slaver and by Auntie. Deciding entry to an event based on the colour of your skin is still as illegal and immoral as it was in the 70s.

    £800k they could have spent on saving disadvantaged kids.

This may or may not be true, it's hard to find out since neither paper that has run the story has actually linked to the project or its report - because citing your sources is not required in journalism.
