If I've done one useful thing today...

...it has been to sign a petition in the No More Page 3 campaign. I never buy the tabloids, but when I take Hugh (now five) to get his hair cut in the barbers, I always forget about page 3.
 
I pick up a paper and start to flick it open....and then quickly shut, newly annoyed that the objectification and exploitation of women is so everyday. It's not the nudity; they could look at National Geographic or the step-by-step breast feeding photos in my Mother and Baby guide - but the meat-market approach of page 3. It's grim and I shall gladly click on the petition to ban it.
