London’s Victoria & Albert Museum has removed Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams from the guest list for a major exhibition of “revolutionary” art, saying that his presence would be inappropriate. The exhibit’s curator, a personal friend of Adams’, is reportedly furious, but the V&A is so far standing firm. Adams led the political wing of the Irish Republican Army when the IRA was regularly mounting terrorist attacks on London, and many Britons hold him responsible, despite the IRA’s recent decision to lay down arms.
