I thought politics were banned in this forum?

I quote

" Political/Religious Viewpoints. Since discussions of a Religious and Political nature tend to be heated because of varying viewpoints, we feel that as an artists' forum, there is no place for these types of discussions. Insulting someone’s religion or speaking about political views in a negative manner is not tolerated anywhere on our site."

Also the discussion has been paused in light of the brutal murder of MP Jo Cox yesterday.

I think if this discussion is to be allowed, we too should observe this pause as well.
