Rutland Times "Self Censorship", Supporting it's Love for Conservative Rutland County Council

Rutland Times "Self Censorship", Supporting it's Love for Conservative Rutland County Council .

Regular readers of the rather thin biased Tory Rutland Times may have noticed a lack of cartoon in a recent issue.

The cartoonist word on this "Self Censorship"

With supermarket the saga ongoing, the paper gave over large column inches to Conservative Leader Roger Begy, so he could blast his other foot off and all the letters to follow, you would have thought we would have been treated to a super cartoon on the subject, NO it was considered too HOT a subject by the Rutland Times.

So I can only assume Conservative pressure has rained down once again from Rutland County Council!

If I was producing a cartoon on the subject it would picture Roger Begy, with a Tesco yellow label on his belly being fed into the waste compactor at the rear of Tesco. As unwanted past his sell by date along with the rest of his Tory mob. Nothing personal just the old guard thinks its hard, when in fact it is just a bit stale.....

A cartoonist in Rutland with restricted freedom of expression whatever next?
