How hateful are these people who want to censor the truth out of existence and rewrite history to suit their current petty agendas. People like that don't even deserve the freedom to open their mouths and should be sent to re-education camps where they are taught what liberty, truth, justice, rights, responsibilities, private property and freedom is all about. Instead of destroying virtue and the good things gained from it over the ages, perhaps they could be made to understand that if they aren't part of the solution, going forward, then they are just part of the problem and a drag on everyone else, a hindrance on freedom, not a promoter. The fact it is the communist inspired green party makes sense, the source of inspiration from whence their goals for censorship derive.

A bit off topic: I'm interested to know whether the Conservative Party's measures to block porngraphy will include this very famous painting which is on public display at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris. A bit of a blow for History of Art students.
