Full marks to Lynne & Gok (together with ‘How to Look Good Naked’) in campaigning against the ‘thin is beautiful’ brigade which sends out the wrong messages about body image to young women. I am a great-grannie who is a wheelchair-user – I used to be 7st 10lb in my young days before having children and re-gained that weight & size in my fifties. I am now in my late sixties, 10st 7lb and always try to look my best on a small budget. I think the message is now getting through slowly about not being a ‘stick insect’ in the world of fashion.

I hope that Lynne and Gok will keep up the pressure about media image to save many young women from being anorexic which can be a consequence of the skinny culture.

As for “blanket bans” targeting one group, well we already have that for plenty of other groups. For example, there are blanket bans on sexually active people from certain parts of Africa etc, so it’s not as if gay men are especially being singled out.

Also was quite pleased to see the Rev. Scott Rennie win at the Hero of the year award. Although I’m sure he will say he wasn’t so much a hero just trying to do a job of work in the calling he had received.
