Greece banned the broadcast of the Swan Lake ballet, and Sweden banned the performance of a local folk group in a concert in support of Ukraine, because the instruments include a balalaika.

Okay, so let's add this up... one orchestra in Wales, one ballet in Greece, one folk group in Sweden... so three countries each have one single instance of banning something? Around 1.5% of countries in the world? And not even the whole country, it's not all of Sweden, it's one single folk group? You make a compelling case.  Roll Eyes



The books of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky are not yet being burned in the squares, and that is nice.

It's nice that this thing I've just imagined, which hasn't happened, which shows zero likelihood of happening, which no-one has suggested should happen... hasn't happened.
It's great that crocodiles can't fly isn't it? But I've thought of it now... so it's only a matter of time before that becomes reality, right?
