Somehow art was produced before tax payers were fleeced for it, and I suspect that art would continue to be produced without tax payers having more money stolen from them.

Just because you do not like some Arts Council funded things does not aut0matically mean that the funding should be cut off. This arty stuff is a complex echo-system that probably drives considerable invisible earnings for the UK economy and adds to the utility of the native population as well. To discourage some marginal activities by destroying the whole shrub is not necessarily the best approach....and doing it on narrowly moralistic grounds rather than objective grounds is surely against your deepest beliefs.
