I'm not a prude but...

I came across this picture and found it kind of funny and pathetic all at the same time.

It is a pervy British institution after all...

To all The Sun readers,

 It's really sad to see that you still need to see a picture of a topless woman to give some meaning to your little lives, how backward and completely misogynistic of you. As for the women who want to defend this page of porn if you really want a body like this just get down the gym and buy the tits you truly desire because I honestly can't see why else any woman would want to be subjected to this everytime you open up this so-called "family paper." 

To any Page 3 girls,

Props to you for making that money but frankly if all your good for is getting your tits out you deserve to be in that dole queue luv. Didn't you hear we're in a recession!

A lusty old politician puts his foot in it...what's new?

I'm not big on politics but I think the whole story surrounding The Telegraph and MP Vince Cable is interesting. Not because of what he said but how The Telegraph got the scoop. They basically used two female journalists who pretended to be Liberal Democrat constituents and coaxed some rather embarrassing and ill-thought-out comments out Mr Cable. As a young female journalist just starting out, I'm not naive enough to think I wouldn't be asked to flirt my way into getting a story and I think it's a shame. I don't think it's good journalism but it's gone on for years. I think you'd expect it more from The Sun but it was a bit of a surprise from a broadsheet like The Telegraph, which is the same paper who exposed the MPs expenses scandal earlier this year... 

It has to be said Vince Cable is pretty stupid for trying to show off and blabbing about all the power he (now no longer) has in the first place, especially to complete strangers.  I couldn't help smirking at how it again shows that as soon as you put a relatively young attractive woman in front of a man they can't help leaving their brains in their trousers. So although what The Telegraph did may be a bit sleazy and underhand (and they'll probably be sued) I'm not quite sure how else anyone would have found out about Mr Cable's totally biased judgements on Rupert Murdoch. Saying that though I do hope Murky Murdoch doesn't get full ownership of Sky because I don't think one man should own a bunch of newspapers AND two TV networks! It just reeks of greed and an unhealthy need for power. The Media has such a huge influence on everything we do and say and I think it's just a step in the wrong direction if he is allowed to have his fingers in so many pies!

The Winter of Discontent: Pt2

You know what I really don't know what to make of the fees increases. The violence that went on is obviously wrong BUT I don't particularly blame students for being angry about this BUT the UK is in debt and they need to raise money somehow BUT putting students in £30000 worth of debt and upwards is messed up BUT too many students are doing stupid courses and taking the piss out of the system (trust me I know) so there's too many graduates and not enough jobs BUT the fact Scottish and Welsh students either don't have to pay or will pay way less than us is totally unfair! Plus the suggestion to bring in the water cannons on protesters is out of order!
