Brokeback Britain: Two Dicks

This thought-provoking image by Brian Jones, Brokeback Britain - an homage to Jamie Reid's Two Cowboys t-shirt design - has been "banned" by Wrexham Council from an exhibition at Oriel Wrecsam arts centre, which they run - according to the Wrexham Leader.
The paper quotes chief leisure, libraries and culture officer Alan Watkin;
“In the run up to an election the authority has to follow strict guidance issued by central government.
“As the work of art in question was a satire on two political parties contesting the Assembly elections it would be inappropriate for it to feature in the show.”
Quite right.
