Then some theatres pulled out of showing Springer. Now the Tate. And these are only the ones we know about. How much of this insidious censorship is happening in our newspapers and on our screens, in our theatres, on the Internet, on radio? It certainly won’t be by lying on our backs waiting for our bellies to be tickled that we’ll put an end to this: it will be only by the willingness of people like the Tate, the Rep and the rest to stand up to religion and say, ‘Hang on a mo, we have a large degree of freedom of speech and expression here, which we’ve fought for. If you don’t like it, there are places where your ideas will be more readily accepted.’

If they had been attacked it would have only gone some way to proving that we should stand up to religious bullies.If memory serves, being controversial has never been something that’s stopped the Tate before.
