  8. I just posted the original article as a response to the OP`s question as to how the victims were referred to:- " They are described not as prostitutes, but as 'women who worked as prostitutes'. Channel 4 news wouldn't dream of calling Harriet Harman 'a woman who works as a politician'. When did you ever hear a nurse described as 'a woman who works as a nurse'?" It wasn`t meant to be a deep, meaningful or controversial contribution.
  9. Read the forst line of the original post and then re-read the article.
  10. This is a cracker! Best so far, although nobody is a loser of course.
  11. Uh oh. Another thread that has the potential to descend into a name calling (Daily Mail reader, Nazi, Racist, Tree Hugger etc) rant. By the way, what is "the real business of football" to you?
  12. From Littlejohn in yesterdays Mail:- Bring on the black armbands The murder of three prostitutes in Bradford not only conjours up memories of the Yorkshire Ripper, but also the hysteria surrounding the killing of five 'sex workers' in Ipswich four years ago. All these women lived wretched lives, selling sex on the streets to feed their drug and alcohol addictions. But their murders are being reported in reverential tones, designed to make us all feel guilty. I'm surprised Jon Snow, on channel 4 news, wasn't wearing a black tie and armband. He delivered the news like a vicar at a child's funeral. They are described not as prostitutes, but as 'women who worked as prostitutes'. Channel 4 news wouldn't dream of calling Harriet Harman 'a woman who works as a politician'. When did you ever hear a nurse described as 'a woman who works as a nurse'? Precisely. Even the legalisation of brothels, which I support, wouldn't have stopped these women falling into the abyss. I resent the widespread implication that their murders are somehow society's fault. What makes these killings newsworthy is the sordid, salacious, sexual angle. Dressing it up in social angst is simply a way of mitigating prurience. For the record, 192 women were murdered in Britain last year. Very few of these killings led the national news bulletins. Then again, they weren't ' women who worked as prostitutes'.
