    In case anyone is interested, this is a petition to the Sun to stop having topless page three girls.

    Might save someone a wasted journey.

    That would mean no inciseful and thought provoking "News in Briefs" anymore :(

    Why not just not buy the paper if you don't like it
  • Less boobs always = bad.
    No signature from me, sorry :D

    Don't like it, choose another paper. I hate football but don't petition for that to be removed from papers - perhaps only 25% of people actively support football whereas most men love boobs.

    Utterly stupid and ironic considering the rest of the Sun is more offensive than page 3. In fact all tabloids should go on the top shelf.

    Thanks for that. The amount of trivia and crackpot ideas on the e-petition website is mind-boggling.

    Anyone that buys that rag knows what's in it, so how can they then pretend to be upset 'cos of it.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

  • Think of all the women its going to put out of work! Discrimination!!!

    :D

    Seriously as said before, if you don't like it then don't buy the paper...not hard is it!
    Don't trust a forum for advice. Get proper paid advice. Any advice given should always be checked

    I don't buy The Sun. I find it drivel. If I wanted to peruse naked ladies there's plenty on the Internet.

    But I would prefer to live in a country where people are able to make up their own minds about what is suitable and appropriate for them to view, rather allowing the state to control it. Page 3 is far less odious than those who believe that if something offends them it should be banned.

    I'm not voting for that, this is Britain, not Dubai.
    It's harmless.
