Thought he was banged up in Italy for Bribery?

No, you're thinking of Tessa Jowell. It was her husband who was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in Italy for bribery but he had his conviction quashed on appeal on a technicality (there is a ten year statute of limitations on such offences under Italian law and the dozy prosecutors didn't bring the prosecution in time!).

Ironically, when Tessa Jowell was Secretary of State for Culture and Media affairs she was responsible for setting up...........yes, you've guessed it........OFCOM!!

Probably because it will. This type of approach was taken recently by a teen 'journalist' for some 'Teen Sex' programme that's running at the moment; she went in, with a massive bias, to look at the glamour industries - topless modelling, pole dancing etc. - with the attitude that it was all dirty, forced and none of the girls really wanted to do it. What she actually got from the girls was the complete opposite, despite her attempts with negative and loaded questions.

I very much doubt this will be an objective investigation, there'll be no talk of it being harmless and between consenting adults, no talk of how much the girls enjoy the work they've chosen, no talk of how it's actually the male consumers that are the exploited ones; and no talk of why having sex in your own life is perfectly fine but then somehow it becomes disgusting when filmed. No doubt expect it to lean heavy on the harm it can cause to children, but as always neglect to put up the parents as the ones with the responsibility.

Hopefully I'm wrong and it's fair, but I won't hold my breath.

Quote:But Ms Smith, who was the first woman to hold the post of home secretary, later resigned from the job after being strongly criticised for designating her sister's house in London as "her main home."

Doing so had allowed her to claim expenses on her Redditch family house.

Jacqui Smith is a lying, thieving cow. Who gives a flying fuck what she thinks about anything?

Yes ofcourse any documentary done by the BBC on porn is allways going to be one sided and what they will try to do as ever will be to take a moralistic point of view on the subject and persist to ram their opinions down the throat of the viewer. Questions such as, we just want to find out exactly what push's these women to degrade themselves in this manner and should the government be doing more to clamp down on the porn industry etc etc. This is bias and is not fair editorial content and just to insult the viewer more at the very end of the programme we will be informed that the opinions expressed does not necessary reflect those of the BBC. My arse it doesn't why the fuck else would you be doing a documentary on the porn industry if it doesn't reflect your views. I mean come on we're hardly going to see the BBC doing a saucy Bravo Tv (what ever happened to that channel) type documentary, are we.

First this witch rips off the taxpayer and now the licence payer and people wonder why I hate all politacal scum.

Anyone know how much time will separate this from Diary of a Call Girl, that my Murdoch paper tells me will contain lots of Piper flesh?

Perhaps Mrs Smith should investigate the adult industry by working in it for a while. Work that pole girl.

Don't know if anybody else heard it but Nicky Campbell was discussing this with Jacqui Smith on R5 at just after eight this morning. Unfortunately I was getting ready to go out the door but the bit I heard from Jacqui Smith was how "shocked" she was by what she "discovered".

Well isn't that a surprise.

There was also a clip of Cathy Barry being interviewed!

If any of us are around that evening it might be an idea to be ready to call in if it seems to be going the usual way of a hatchet job.

I heard Cathy speaking and recognised her voice. They did not give her surname.
There was also a phone in about porn at 9am this morning on R5.
I missed when they said the Jacqui Smith porn documentary would be on.

Thursday March 3rd at 21.30 on Radio 5

about forced or abused childhood thats more in line with prosituation. you will find many strippers, pole dancers up and down (no pun intended) the country (many other countries) studying at uni. deaumxa 50's, vanessa videl 50's and there others in their 40's and 50's some even in their 60's doing porn. at least its not harriett harman, labours womens and equality minister in the previous government, that would be so one sided. in the "adult industry" its the men that get expolited by the women.

i wonder if jacqui smith got her husband involved, jacqui smith's how not to do a porn vid. i think cwpussylover should phone up and describe what he would do to jacqui smith.

i will be watching mock the week instead of listening to utter baise bullshit from an ex-labour minister who helped themselves to tax payer's money in the expense scandal and also for being part the government that fucked the country in billions of debt.
