    I have to come out and say that the response really disappointed me - firstly I don't think its written well enough to sting as it should. Secondly I think it smacks of an over reaction to something which is essentially politicians ragging each other over where they spend their budgets. The focus is on them, not the design industry; the couple of condescending comments on there which are superficially aimed at our skills or lack of are worth paying next to no mind to. Boiling up this incredibly long response to this just sounds hurt.

    There are good points in there, but each one of them is negated by the tone of the next part, which comes off as a bit childish in my opinion.

    If this was necessary to write then it would have been much better served with a cold, detached dissection of the argument. It runs off from that into what sounds like a plea too often.

    I can honestly imagine that being read and our profession being easily dismissed as childish and pompous, but not quite smart enough to really stick the knife in properly.

    sorry.

    • yeah I think its all about how they could have controlled the budget betterFallowDeer
