    Have you got any evidence of it being racist or homophobic?

    How is that racist or homophobic? Was Jerry Springer the Opera racist or homophobic when it said Jesus was gay? Is Private Eye racist when it sends up the Pope?

    Well, it appears you just did. Or would you prefer they stopped drawing their cartoons because it offends you? I think that's called censorship.

      How is it censorship when I've just reprinted two of the cartoons?

      Challenging anything is censoring it, apparently.

    The paper describes itself as left-wing and anti-racist, according to a sourced article on their Wikipedia entry, but it's in French.
