That depiction may offend some scousers it may not offend others, any non-scousers usually find it hilarious
Do we censor it so as not offend the easily offended, who also did nothing wrong other than bring born in Liverpool (although some may think that bad enough)
it the old offence argument. You have every to be offended, they have every right to offend.

I agree.
I don't see what the dispute has been about the last few pages. I don't think anyone has said that these cartoons should be banned by law or that violence is warranted against those who publish them. That's all free speech really affords you.
Other than that people can seriously criticise the decision of others to say or publish something which is what's happening and that too can be criticised in turn.
I am just saying that because a few pages back people were telling martyh that people have the right not to be murdered which seems redundant.
I probably am missing something. This is like when I tired to understand what gamergate was about.
