| IS TESCO SELLING SEX TO SEVEN-YEAR-OLDS?
On 14 April 2008, The Sun said this: Quote: |
Supermarket giant Tesco was slammed yesterday for SELLING A PADDED PLUNGE BRA FOR GIRLS AS YOUNG AS SEVEN.
| Quote:
The £4 "bust-booster" is being sold alongside vests in the seven to eight-year-old age range...
Mum-of-two Julie Stephens, 36, of Edmonton, North London, said...
'For a product like this to be aimed at children is appalling'...
A National Union of Teachers spokeswoman said:
"There is already too much pressure on children to appear grown up. Making products for young girls which encourage them to wear inappropriate and sexually provocative clothes is irresponsible — and merely adds to the pressure they are under"...
The row comes after Tesco had to remove A POLE_DANCING KIT from the toy section of its website in 2006 after it was accused of "destroying kids’ innocence". | Dame Shirley Porter was, the last time I looked, the major shareholder in Tesco's, the supermarket chain created by her father. She was the leader of Westminster Council at the time of the "Homes-for-Votes" scandal. Whilst she was in power, the council also sold off British graveyards for a pittance and housed poor families in asbestos-ridden flats. Perhaps Dame Shirl knew knew nothing about the kiddie bra in question. Perhaps Murdoch and Maxwell never knew anything about the contents of Page 3 of The Sun and The Mirror either. Perhaps Michael Grade and David Elstein, never knew anything about Channel 4 and Channel 5 promoting soft core porn when they ran those outfits. (Setting the scene for the hard core stuff that was to come later) It would be a bit difficult to argue that Richard Desmond knew nothing about his massive pornagraphic Empire before he bunged Tony Blair £100,000 to let him buy The Daily Express, of course. In a moral world, I suppose that those who thought that youthful bosoms on Page 3 would be a good idea, those who thought that explicit and often kinky sex on TV would be even better, and the top shelf porn Baron would not be put up against a wall and shot. Though they would certainly be prevented from doing what they do and their ill-gotten gains might well be confiscated. But the person most responsible for selling sexuality to seven-year-olds? What punishment would that individual merit, do you think? I Am An Englishman
