Not a newspaper but a porn paper



It is incredulous that The Daily Star is for sale on newstands across the country. The Daily Star is not a newspaper. It is soft porn and needs to placed on the top shelf.

The retail industry have failed to regulate themselves and government regulation is needed. The Daily Star has been on newagents shelves in the UK since 1978. Both Labour and Tory governments have had many years to deal with this issue yet neither of them choose to do anything about this. Why is it left to Claire Curtis-Thomas one woman MP to bring her own private member bill under the ten minute rule? Realistically her Sexually Explicit Material (Regulation of Sale and Display) Bill has little chance of becoming law because of lack of parliamentary time!

The politicians have been ignoring this since 1978 and continue to let the profits of porn peddlers take precedence. Politicians have given newspapers and magazines a license to do what they want with womens bodies.
