"License to Offend" Exhibition cancelled ‘over fears of offence’

From The Telegraph.


An exhibition of Fleet Street cartoons titled Licence to Offend, scheduled to go on public view in Kingston-upon-Thames, has been cancelled, apparently because the cartoons might offend someone.

The Kingston Riverside is operated by TownSq, which takes over unused public buildings and runs them as workspaces.

TownSq Kingston, which works with the council, had given permission for the space to be used to display biting political images from papers including The Telegraph.

The owner of the venue where the exhibition was to open told organizers they had to dismantle the exhibition immediately after the opening.

The exhibition featured caricatures of Donald Trump, Sir Kir Starmer, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and other famous figures.
