Conservative MP Neil O’Brien has slammed a British-taxpayer funded anti-white poster as “divisive” and “racist.”
This week a series of “artworks” based on the theme of “straight white male” were posted throughout the United Kingdom as part of a project to create a gallery of art across the country. The posters were displayed on advertising billboards and digital screens, to be viewed by as many people as possible.
Thank you for your support @JCDecaux_UK๐ค
The Gallery couldn't happen without the power of OOH! #GalleryWithoutWalls https://t.co/qcdlqz2js4

One poster, as part of the event created by Artichoke, a registered British charity, simply exclaimed “hey straight white men. Pass the power!”
The poster was highlighted by well-known conservative commentator Douglas Murray, who suggested that a “backlash” may be coming as a result of the “perfectly normal instruction.”
Artichoke as a charity, receive funding from Arts Council England, a government program meant to give money to the arts. According to the Charities Commission, Artichoke received ยฃ82,539 from a government grant, and a government contract worth ยฃ39,408 in the tax year 2020-2021.
Neil O’Brien, a Conservative MP, was incensed by the fact that the disgusting messaging was funded by the ordinary British citizens, and said he was “sick of paying tax for this divisive, racist crap.”
This was funded by @artichoketrust which is funded by Arts Council England, so by taxpayers.
Speaking as someone who recently supported a talented black woman to become PM…

Jonathan Portes, a liberal commentator and professor of economics at Kings College London, decided that O’Brien’s comments were a “threat to free speech,” as he was applying a “political litmus test for arts organisations that receive state funding.”
No surprise that @neildotobrien thinks that there should be a political litmus test for arts organisations that receive state funding.
Once again pretty obvious where the real threats to free speech in this country come from.. https://t.co/siPwUg0jZP

O’Brien shot back at Portes’ assertion. “They can say anything they want with their own money,” he argued, “but I don’t think my hard working constituents should be forced to pay for your racist rubbish.”
In response, Portes once again tried to claim that not wanting anti-white hatred funded by taxpayers was simply O’Brien trying to withdraw funding “from organisations whose politics [he] doesn’t like,” arguing that the real “threat to free speech” comes from conservatives.
Another example of a leftist group funded by Arts Council England is Mandinga Arts, who in July of last year put on a children’s reading event at a London library, with one man in a bepenised costume being dubbed the “Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey.”
They received an undisclosed sum from the government project according to an archive of their site.
Can a word capture the spirit of an age? Images certainly can. In future, when we think back on the zeitgeist of 2021, we may remember Rainbow Dildo Butt Monkey, and wonder how on earth we descended to thinking that this was suitable entertainment for children. pic.twitter.com/rleD1rQoR4

Valiant News reported on Tuesday that Fox News host Tucker Carlson blamed the current political elites for formenting anti-white “race hate,” and warned that the rise of white identity politics was inevitable if they did not change their ways.
“Once everyone has an identity, white people are going to create identity politics on their own,” Carlson said. “Why wouldnโt they? Do you really want that? Why are you doing this? What is this?”
