Welcome to Talk-England


Welcome to the Talk-England Forums. I love my country and hope you do to. There is something very special about the English and in these days when all people want to do seems to be to knock us back I think we should celebrate what it means to be English. Lets also not forget our neighbours and mother country, but the focus here is on England and being English.
Please read through the posts, join in if you wish, lets define what it means to be English, the good, bad or just strange.

Note: forum is running, but currently I am still setting things up such as stickies, layouts etc. - Wreck

Unsure where this fits, but after watching the news last evening, I am shocked by the picture that has been banned from an art exhibition and was found to be owned by Elton John.

Anyone who has young children would have seen them playing in this way. What upset me was why should this picture be considered "Art". By should a protographer take a picture of some children playing in this way and why would it be held up as "Art". Why does Elton John own such as picture of someone elses children naked in this way. This is not "Art" it is an intrusion into the innocence of 2 young children and should not be displayed to the general public.

bulldog you do know the photo I take it, therefor are aware that it is of little girls. Why should Elton John not own it as apposed to anyone else.
Little boys and I could see why you might feel uneasy.
Are you just being homophobic.

arther,

I have 2 small children myself. I just dont see why a picture of 2 children playing (the photo if I remember also showed intimate areas of one of the children) should be seen as art and why Elton John needed it.

btw I did see the photo (or the bits that they didnt blank out on the television)
