V & A: Che OK, Adams no
Gerry Adams has been a guest at No 10 and the White House but the Sinn Fein president is definitely not welcome at the V&A museum, it seems.From the Telegraph. Adams would appear to be a bit of a Che fan:Staff have removed his name from the guest list for the opening of its "Che Guevara: Revolutionary and Icon" exhibition next week.
Mr Adams said: "I think [the V & A's] stance is especially absurd given that this particular exhibition is about an iconic revolutionary figure, with family connections to Ireland, who fought against injustice and oppression both in Cuba and in South America."The Guardian further notes:
Among items for sale during the exhibition will be a Che finger puppet, Che chocolate cigar, Che doll and Che cigar box as well as T-shirts, stickers, neon signs and badges.

Che "tool of the capitalist" Guevara? Come on, the guy was a wanna-be warrior, every "victory" he had was just a step in the direction opposite he was trying to go. I can't believe that people idolize this guy after all this time!
