Hungarian authorities have fined a bookseller for selling a British graphic novel without closed wrapping - saying it breached a controversial law on LGBT literature for under-18s.

The Lira Kiskereskedelmi Kft retailer was fined 12m forints (£27,400) for selling a Heartstopper book without wrapping it in plastic foil. Officials said the book depicted homosexuality and was sold to minors. The love story, about two teenage boys, has been made into a Netflix series.

    It is a shame that such crap is being practiced in Europe. As if anyone was ever harmed by such books.
