Some people are outraged that the Labour party has adopted a picture of a giant mosque as the backdrop to its party conference stage this year.

Except, well, take a closer look. You might also think it’s of some relevance that they are holding the conference in Brighton. That’s Brighton. Where there’s a rather famous pavilion.
It's Brighton Pavilion, not a mosque. What's wrong with you guys.

The conference is in Brighton and it's the most famous building there. You are being dim

Let's add you two to the great British patriots who don't recognise a famous British historical building and know no history?

And yet some people still weren’t having it.

Is the back drop of the Brighton Pavilion a deliberate attempt to look like a
mosque and appeal to Muslims #labourconference2017 pic.twitter.com/5U0xShBLWk— Crocusville (@Crocusville) September 25, 2017
Yes, that’s right. You’re exactly right.
