| Think about this carefully - Max Clifford was routinely approached by young females who were intent upon exploiting their physical charms in pursuit of a remunerative and enjoyable 'modelling' career. One of them was a fifteen-year-old who was enthusiastically entrusted into Clifford's care by her p... |

| I hope that men and women alike will learn from the lessons of Operation DLT. Men - you are not allowed to grab the tits of any passing female. Women - if somebody upsets you by grabbing your tits you should scream out loud, knee the offender in the crutch and/or punch the offender in the face - do ... |

| Try this for a scenario - neither Alex Salmond nor David Cameron ever believed that there would be any real support for Scottish independence. Alex Salmond needed an excuse for failure, and D.Cameron had nothing to worry about... This is from wikipedia - "The Scottish referendum of 1979 was a post-l... |

| Yesterday, I had the pleasure of walking over the top of the o2 millenium dome in London UK. It was built as a celebration of the achievements of the human race, and is now filled with pop concerts and a standard selection of franchised food outlets. The view from the top of the dome is impressive -... |

| emotions are running very high. I am getting more worried all the time. We aren't going to see overnight changes in how our institutions and organisations are run, but it is so close and emotions are so high that I am very anxious about how we are going to relate to each other as people afterwards ... |

How many referendums will Quebec conduct, until they get the required result? |

| The fact that Orange marches in Scotland are unremarkable is about to change - whatever the result of the referendum. If the Yes vote wins, the unionists will feel aggrieved, and if the No vote wins the nationalists will feel aggrieved. Whatever the result, conflict is a very possible outcome. Whate... |

| Here is the text of an email which I sent this afternoon to my English member of parliament - I will post his reply when it arrives! I have already told you of my concerns about the Islamic Lunatics, and today's news of another beheading is terrifying - they are coming our way, and a 'measured respo... |

| I guess the Athenians were as confused as we are today about how to incorporate sex into civilisation. I agree with naturalplastic that sexual perversion probably didn't exist before the beginning of technology. I also agree with 0_equals_true that technology exists within nature. The problem is tha... |

| For many centuries, 'civilised art' has frequently included images of the naked human body (both male and female). Natural History films regularly show 'lower species' shagging. Hollywood stars rejoice in their increasingly risque behaviour and appearance. Modern novels are required to include some ... |

| Unsurprisingly, my recent thread about sex crimes went completely pear-shaped - many people are scared to challenge the new wisdom for fear of being vilified/arrested etc. The thread eventually wandered off into the area of victimless crimes - if a crime has no victims, then why is it a crime?

It's no different than celebrities being exposed for substance abuse problems, or making insane political or racial statements by both the tabloid press and t... |
