Apparently Peppa Pig was to be used at a Labour party election even,.but the company which licenses the children's TV character said "it had agreed the character should not attend the event to avoid any controversy".

Now I wonder who could possibly cause any controversy over such a harmless cartoon character?

Seems fairly obvious to me that the owners of a children's TV character wouldn't want it to appear affiliated with a political party.

Jesus, my three year old is gonna end up a Labour supporter.
Thomas the Tank Engine is a good old fashioned tory though!!

Wonderful quote from Mandy here: "It's all far, far too political for me to understand."

"Postman Pat: Keen supporter of the Tory concept of the Big Society but uncomfortable with the metropolitan bias of Notting Hill Cameroons, or “southern softies” as he calls them. Also concerned about possible Royal Mail privatization. Likely to vote Tory with some reservations."

Can't you read your own link. The so called ban is not in Croatia it is in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

You probably missed it because it happen abroad, but there a big war there and a lot of the muslims were ethnically cleansed (nice words for killed).
