Should we uncancel Australia's most famous and talented artist singer songwriters? I speak of Rolf Harris.

I await, with eager anticipation, the canceling of one William Shakespeare.

If only for the torture that has been inflicted upon children, in his name.

One always retains the right to consume whatever "art" is offered, even by the reviled.

One doesn't need to purchase or consume "art" which offends your own personal moral standards. Be they puritanical/Victorian or modern and permissive. No matter what it is, somebody will always be offended.

I mean what's all the fuss about nudity or pubic hair, for heaven's sake. Or OMG you can see her naked ankles or uncovered hair.

Parents need to ensure that their tin lids are protected from online material not suitable for young impressionable minds!

The Twitter reference doesn't say that Dahl was a "vile human being". Nor is there any evidence provided for "sympathies he expressed for Hitler to raping his stroke-paralyzed wife". Not that any of the accusations have anything to do with what Dahl wrote, or that what he wrote is being rewritten by the Lunatic Left and Dahl's own gutless family.

Art like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some may see different sized boxes stacked at odd angles as art or distorted images as seen in a nightmare, or as paint flicked at a canvas. Case in point, blue polls sold for a flaming fortune.

Now apparently worth millions. There remains a lot of toffee-nosed snobbery by gushing and delusional art aficionados.

I prefer realism and art that conveys beauty. Be it true to life landscapes, portraits or nudes.
