Rather too much of this sort of thing going on for my liking. Opera isn't ever going to be a cause that easily tugs at the heart strings, but plenty in the public sector will recognise the demand to do the government's job in resolving structural social issues.

I'm all for moving things out of London, but it's not clear to me how the ENO being in one big city rather than another changes anything. "Let them eat Carmen"?

Still, I look forward to the not-at-all-hypocritical outrage when someone next suggests moving Parliament, even as a temporary measure for renovations.
