Thought this would be a great article. Loved the film in the 80s and genuinely intrigued to learn more about why it should be seen as a gay film. But other than the journalist talking about how he fancied all the male actors growing up as a gay young man there is nothing else to say. Disappointing.

You could apply an economic multiplier effect calculation on the impact of the grant investment on the local area. A social value return assessment, cost benefit analysis. Lots of ways to appraise it if the numbers are accessible. The article is pretty myopic overall without evidencing the impact.

A Get Britain Working policy that isn't...working. High levels of youth unemployment, high levels of economic inactivity. A devolved funding approach that is more focused on process than outcome.
