Clothes do not create victims. People do.

A response to Nick Freeman's ridiculous claims on ITV's This Morning programme on Thursday.

Oh no not the C word! That word, C%%t%%%ing, should not be used around men. I've had to cross my legs after reading that last comment. BTW Where have I gone? I'm still here, I've not disappeared.

Well said. Threatening to hold the country to ransom at times when it hurts the most (as Aslef so often do) really is criminal.

I wonder if Matt's wishing he'd come second or third. The forced Christmas no 1 scenario is a double edged sword for the winner.

Excuse me your Majesty, but why are we paying for a Royal wedding?

I like the monarchy. It's patriotic, a little bit old-fashioned, but in a good way, and Queeny's all sweet and small and she wears pretty shiny things. But why the hell am I paying for her grandchi...

Grateful for what? All the royal family does for the country is help promote the class system. We can always find more worthy ambassadors and other ways of attracting tourists. It's time to stop the sham, let them be free and allow Britain to become the modern country that it should be.

I find TWLOHA utterly disgusting. I've been personally affected by self harm and the last thing I want is kids running around with felt tip pens and trendy tshirts ramming my own suffering back down my throat after I thought I'd purged it. But at the core of this, if the idea is to get money for the charity, does it really matter what it says on the tshirt? If it doens't make any reference ...

lol. I've had the same feeling, not about poppies but around the election - a few of my fb 'friends' kept using their status updates to rant on about the tories with no substance to back up what they were saying except 'they're posh boys'. I wish you could turn certain peoples status updates off. Pomposity combined with ignorance can be so hard to bear.

The Gucci Bag Crew

I don't think many Essex residents would view Jodie Marsh as an Essex export to be proud of. Chantelle Houghton, though likeable, is not exactly disproving the unintelligent and addicted to fake tan and fake breasts stereotype. Yes they have somehow made money out of being non-celebrities from Essex, but I don't think they're making being from Essex seem like a good thing. I realise that Denise...

Intrigued by your article I just watched the latest episode on demand. What a truly awful programme. I agree with everything you say. The sad facts are there is a market out there for junk TV programmes like this and it will have an influence on some impressionable people (not just in essex). It will reinforce yet encourage the stereotype at the same time; and not even for the sake of decen...

There are loads of old folk whose children live miles away or in different countries and never visit them. Sorry if it sounds sentimental but I think it's best to have a child just because you love the person you're having it with and want to make a person out of that love. Then give your children unconditional love. I know it's relatively easy for me to say this as I have the best children i...

In this month's issue of Time Out Russell Brand makes a valid point: 'I personally think that poor young woman would not have developed cancer had she not been the focus of such intense hatred – malevolent hatred – for such a long period of time. And now, it’s convenient for the narrative to like her again. It just sickens me.’
