Next up: rainbow genocide

Can we spot the flaw?

Why yes, we can. The burqa is not a symbol of freedom. The women of Afghanistan are forced to wear it, on pain of violence and death.

These imbeciles should book their trip to Kabul immediately.

Update: On the other hand Oli in London needs to date his sources: this is from 2019 and not in London but Amsterdam. So why are the signs in English? I don’t know – possibly because English is the lingua franca in the Netherlands and Scandinavia.

    It’s also amazingly simple to change the text on those signs.

    Noting what the Rev said, there is also another possibility on the English signs. It is clearly performance art, and probably meant for internet consumption rather than local changes. They aren’t there to make a difference, they are there to be seen, and using English on the signs could increase your potential audience.
