To preserve the honour of our princess Kate Middleton we should declare war on France after topless photos of her were published

Are Kate Middleton’s breasts more precious than any other woman’s? Clearly. We should stop messing about with lawsuits and just declare war on France. To preserve the honour of our Princess. Oh, and on Italy, as  Silvio Berlusconi’s daughter Marina owns the publisher of the magazine in which these shameful images appeared.

The amount of hyperbole and hypocrisy surrounding these pictures – that no one has Googled, obviously – is staggering.

Do I feel sorry for her? Yes, it must be horrible. But then every time she appears, every inch of her is scrutinised. She is a brand leader for the Firm and this is the lifestyle she has chosen.

Monarchists can feign no innocence after what happened to Diana. The Palace itself has sought to spell out the connection between Kate and the Prince’s dead mother, as if we needed reminding. The ‘serious’ debate is one of security and privacy but actually it is all about bad French people, good British people and our favourite subject: women’s bits.

The language being employed  is ridiculous. Kate is said to be in ‘agony’ while she and William are being unspeakably ‘brave’ as they are still managing to go to tea  parties or whatever it is they do for a living. Yes, I know they visited a mosque in Malaysia, although they could have found one closer to home. You don’t need a zoom lens to lose all perspective. 

I know women in ‘agony’ and who are ‘brave’ because they have breast cancer. Perhaps we could save these words for when we really need them.

It is possible to feel sympathetic to this woman and I already have. As our own press tries to speculate on the contents of her uterus at every available chance, the news that she does indeed possess breasts is not a scoop, is it? Indeed her wedding dress pointedly accentuated them. 

It is a sad phenomenon that every woman in the public eye is fair game in the ‘seen but not heard’ world of today’s media landscape. It is perfectly OK to reduce any woman to a collection of body parts. Pippa’s backside, remember, spoke for itself during the wedding, the woman herself did not. 

Kate’s job description is looking lovely and being nice. Unlike Harry she was not showing off but then it’s always different for girls. As any secondary-school teacher will tell you, sexting can lead to all sorts of sexual bullying. 

For we now all live in culture of constant low-level sexual bullying. While women are always outnumbered by men in positions of power, images of our bodies are up for grabs. And found mostly lacking. Even the most beautiful women are pictured on their off-days. If not they are ‘flaunting’ themselves in an ‘enviable’ way. 

To typecast half the population as living in a perpetual state of jealousy and self-loathing is twisted. To then pretend this is done out  of ‘concern’ contemptible. Women got one day at Leveson to talk about the way we are portrayed. One day. Now we see how unworkable privacy law is. An image can go viral but the law cannot.

Showing someone naked is never in the public interest. It is in the commercial and prurient nature of media that it happens all the time. Bikini shots get hits. Blurring the nipples makes it OK. 

The leering at Kate is normally done with innuendo rather than in-your-face invasiveness. She  is but one of the many figures  constantly ogled. My daughters’ generation has grown up in a world where the constant message is that a woman is never more than the sum of her parts. You judge a book only by the cover. Technology has made this so.

Happiness will come from packaging your body and individuality into something to be enjoyed by others.  

Other upper-class breasts will be exposed as London Fashion Week starts. Pert and perfect  versus the siliconed  version of lower-class stunners. 

Is anything more exposed now than in the oft-shown photograph of Kate in the transparent dress? If I could say anything to her it would be that breasts are no big deal. Tit for tat. That in these pictures she is just enjoying herself, living fully in her great body. That is what I would want for any young woman, not just a Royal. The fact that we don’t want this insane level of woman-hating scrutiny to stop, whoever it happens to, pauper or princess, is what is actually ‘grotesque’ and ‘saddening’.

Acidic, arrogant, indsicreet – it’s no wonder I adore Edwina

Edwina Currie has added to the gaiety of the nation. She is arrogant, sexually obsessed and acidic. I like that in a woman.

She has always been wonderfully indiscreet. One of the first times I went to the Commons she took me for lunch and explained that as most of her colleagues drank all day, many of the Government were never really sober.

It enhanced my understanding of politics greatly.

Boris Johnson is now more respected than Margaret Thatcher, according to polls. Golly gosh.

Cameron
is obviously not at all rattled,  saying that serious times need
serious people. That is exactly the problem. Boris is serious.

‘I know him,’ I said to a friend when I saw a picture of the newly discovered, depressed-looking lesula monkey found in the Congo (below). ‘Ack,’ she replied.

‘We have all had some bad dates in our time, Suzanne.’

Hillsborough police must pay

The dignity in loss of some of the Hillsborough families has been the opposite of the self-pity their entire city was accused of. I fail to see how there cannot be prosecutions.

But what really do we know now that we did not know 20 years ago? 

The Taylor Report of 1989 spoke of how the police evaded responsibility and sought to blame the fans. The then Home Secretary Douglas Hurd wanted to welcome the report.

‘I fail to see how there cannot be prosecution’ over the Taylor Report when police evaded responsibility and sought to blame fans in the Hillsborough disaster where 96 fans died in 1989

Margaret Thatcher stopped this happening: ‘The broad thrust is devastating criticism of the police. Is  that for us to welcome?’ 

As anyone who lived through the miners’ strike witnessed, Thatcher wanted a highly politicised police force who could get away with anything – and they did. The shock expressed when hatred of the police bubbles to the surface because of deaths in custody or the ‘policing’ of demonstrations is naive. People do not forget. 

Similarly, those in power cannot be shocked by these revelations when they  have all spent 20 years  suppressing them.
