Cringe and Surrender


I refer to 'Much Ado' below.

Under threat of violence the Editor of 'Post' has apologised and removed the art work from the newspaper's website.  The Goodman Gallery also under threat has taken the painting down and the artist has 'explained' his work.

The ANC declares a 'victory' but it really is one of brutishness and intimidation over reasoned and informed argument.

This is not the stuff of civilisation.
