It's back



Haters gonna hate.

Who cares, you've still got the Daily Star (Or Morning Star for hard core lefties):

Because it's the law that the state is entitled to tax you. It's not the law that you can appear topless in a privately owned company's newspaper.

Sheesh.

Well, all you did was just rephrase the question to say "why is it legal..." instead of "why does one have a right..". Just saying - so long as they're completely arbitrary, it doesn't make much sense to wonder why someone would suppose that had a right to <any random thing>. Not important to the point at hand.

Ofcourse, *I* would say that of course she doesn't have a right. But like I said, I think she really meant that other people shouldn't be campaigning to get her career shut down on some kind of moral basis.

Sheesh.

Sorry to be pedantic but:
There isn't a law that specifically says that you can't. Therefore it is the law that you can appear topless in a privately owned company's newspaper.

That doesn't mean either that you must or that they must let you.

Ho Ho.
Just you try selling no-gay B&B rooms in pounds and ounces

I've never understood why that B&B owner didn't just decorate all their rooms in clashing colours, that would have got rid of the prospective gay guests in a flash.

WHS. It's just like the hoo-haa over OUP banning sausages in their books. It's a commercial decision; they can design their products to suit their market in whatever way they want. It's nothing to do with rights or freedom of speech.

I doubt much at all those leftie accademics do has to do with business.

If Page 3 goes, it's a purely commercial decision by Murdoch and his lackeys.

Why would someone have a right to dip into my pocket to fund the NHS against my will?

Sheesh.

If Page 3 goes, it's a purely commercial decision by Murdoch and his lackeys. Note that Murdoch, when thinking out loud on Twitter about the subject over the last few months, made reference to young women fashionably dressed as an alternative. Assuming "fashionably dressed" means "in expensive lingerie", that's exactly what the Sun appears to have shifted to.

Next: manufacturers of expensive lingerie pay News Inc (or whatever it's called this week) a "sponsorship fee" for their products to appear. Kerching!

Dunno, but the people of Huntingdon are very grateful to you.

[SpontaneousOrder]

Why on earth would you think you have a right to appear in someone else's newspaper?

I suspect what she is getting at is that it's none of the femi-morons' business and they should get a life.

Dirty old men with cameras will suffer as well, it will be harder to justify page 3 style shoots where scantily clad chavs try to pose in exchange for 'exposure' and the forlorn hope of a modelling career

FTFY.

Why do they call these girls glamour models?
They are Chavettes
