But then the Sport keeps going...<br /><br />I am guessing this think tank is made up of two people and if it didn't mention porn wouldn't get picked up even by the Star. Maybe time for me to establish a forward thinking progressive and radical influential think tank - I have a half hour spare to knock out some crappy ideas and thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-44669816165439110612010-09-10T09:07:19.800+01:002010-09-10T09:07:19.800+01:00When I try to visit the Daily Star website while a...When I try to visit the Daily Star website while at work I have to click through a "Do you really want to visit this site" warning from the office's filtering software.

Firstly, let's remember that this is The Star - any mention of pornography, however slight, is an open season for this kind of, er, frontage.<br /><br />Secondly, I actually find it harmless - the report is a typical noveau-feminist rant and shouldn't be taken seriously anyway. It's hardly 'porn in the workplace', is it? It's not as if the trusts are leaving hardcore skank in the waiting room or in the nurse's station. 100quid a year to stick a few copies of Razzle in the (very private) donation room - do me a favour!<br /><br />The report is merely a vehicle to come down on porn per se - the NHS link is very tenous. I have no great love for the Star, but I think that it's difficult to come down hard on a comic simply for being a comic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
