gallery owner becomes target after showcasing painting of Iraqi prisoner abuse

I find this really disturbing; in the land of free speech, the actions of -I hope- a minority should reproduce, in a sense, the very thing that they are protesting about.

Intersting comment from the article:
The irony of the attacks hasn't been lost on Haigh. Among the expressions of support she's received since shuttering the gallery, her favorite is an e-mail whose writer said, "I'm sure that a few and dangerous minds don't understand that they have only mimicked the same perversity this painting had expressed."

No comments:

"Spend and tax" not "tax and spend"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
