Drone for Peace, Gag for Freedom

In a devastating display of British values, an exhibition called Passion for Freedom, which includes images of Muslim women chained up and about to be stoned for adultery, has censored a work featuring cuddly toys threatened by Islamic fundamentalists. The police told the gallery that Isis Threaten Sylvania, unlike the Great Wall of Vagina, was potentially inflammatory and would incur an extra £36,000 in protection money should it go on display, despite its having already been on display, without terroristic incident, at the Royal College of Art last spring. Since the artist, a Syrian migrant, claims that the events in her imaginary scenes came true after she assembled them, perhaps the security services might care to waterboard her a bit, or even take the toys in and rearrange their stuffing.
