Freedom of speech? Not these days, if you’re an artist in Britain

This made me chuckle. No mention of Jess de Wahls. Comments closed pretty early, for the Guardian.

Surely Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett has heard of the recent situation regarding the Royal Academy and Jess de Wahls?? She clearly doesn't deserve a mention as I assume her opinions these days are akin to being a Nazi.

God. The Guardian have gone down a terrible route. Not really this article, but an mixture of what I've seen over the last few years.

Yes the comments closed sharpish so mine wasn't posted.Hypocrites

I managed to get a few comments in. One reason I still read the guardian is to try and sneak some GC stuff into comments sections, even though that's hard with their reluctance to open comments on anything explicitly gender related. I think the average guardian reader is open to the GC viewpoint, and in this particular article the top rated comment is about Jess de Wahls.

My grownup DD was enraged by the police raid on Antepavilion and posted about it on her Facebook page. Her housemate, who is a keen trans supporter, disliker of JKR, posted this, which I thought was ironic...
Of course, I couldn't say so, didn't want to get DD in hot water...

Isn't that the SNP manifesto?
