It would not surprise me, CB, if Littlejohn purchased their services either.<br /><br />A reply to VP. If he looks on my archives he will find a few of the answers to his question. But firstly on the notion of choice, pro or 'anti'. I think whatever one's views on the issue they should have a touch of scepticism on the rhetoric of 'choice' - as it seems designed to appeal to the consumerist mentality of late capitalism. The decision whether or not to have a child is deeper than this.<br /><br />My thinking is quite straightfoward and compatible with libertarianism. To sum in up in a few words I feel that consensual sex, even if it be for money, is one thing. In the case of abortion, however, I believe that there is always another human being who can never consent. I do not believe a fertilised egg is a human being but I do believe that a foetus is, when heartbeat and brainwaves develop. <br /><br />I am ambivalent about the law as I don't believe prohibition will be of any help and I am generally averse to giving the State more power, the right to privacy being important to me and all. But I do, shall we say, believe that there should be certain restrictions on the practice, and other social measures put in place with the aim of phasing out the practice gradually.<br /><br />Happy new year all xxBad Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826777782422384955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631611.post-45453428455503960912006-12-31T00:18:00.000+00:002006-12-31T00:18:00.000+00:00I read this too, being a Mail reader by habit (I s...I read this too, being a Mail reader by habit (I started very early). My secret shame exposed, I read this article and thought it was fucking outrageous.<br /><br />Yes, these girls were prostitutes, but that is not all they were. Men like Littlejohn pay for their favours, so where is the condemnation for these people who play such an important part in thie vicious cycle?<br /> <br />They may well have been doing it to feed habits rather than mouths, but does this make them bad people and deserving of the worst sort of fate? <br /><br />This was even more ridiculous than another piece trying to blame Moss/Doherty for the murders, which is like trying to blame P Diddy for global warming.<br /><br />Sometimes I'm glad I read this paper and can see for myself just how distorted some of the minds are behind it.<br /><br />These people should be ashamed of themselves.<br /><br />Good post, Liz :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31631611.post-33765261149945713572006-12-28T22:09:00.000+00:002006-12-28T22:09:00.000+00:00Lol, well said Ump.

He gives the DM readers what they want, I suppose it might be said, to which I would say that that's the reason I blog rather than sell myself to the gutter press.
