I’m A Celebrity Watch: Katie Price Is More Hated Than Baby P’s Mum
I’M A Celebrity Watch: I’m A Celebrity’s Katie Price is hated by all, loved by Alex Reid, hated by the entire country and replaced by a bikini…
On last night post-Katie Price show, Anorak began Bikini Watch – keeping a tally of how it was before the big holes left by Katie Price and her Jordans were plugged with other contestants.
After 2.8 seconds, we saw Sabrina Washington in a bikini, followed five seconds later by soon-to-be-ejected Lucy Benjamin (get ‘em while you can), and 11 seconds later then we saw Stuart Manning with his chest out.
At the end of the show, having heard Katie’s flat drawl expwain mi weaons fur leeevin’ ther jungal, there was not enough to for Benjamin to say what a wicked time she’d had.
It’s a good fist at replacing Katie Price, but for the papers it is too little and to, well, little. Though no longer on I’m A Celebrity, Katie Price dominates the tabloid chatter. The news round up:

Rebecca Stevenson: Britain’s Worse Mum Has Two Houses?
REBECCA Stevenson is “Britain’s worse mum”. The Lancashire Telegraph confirms it:
DEFINITELY Britain’s worst mum’ was the verdict of one of Rebecca Stevenson’s furious neighbours yesterday.
The Sun agrees that Rebecca Stevenson is the “UK’s worst mum”. She’s worse than Tracey Connelly. She’s worse than Vanessa George? As one nodding head said:
The grim figures led one social workers’ leader to warn there are “Baby P’s” [sic] in every local authority in Britain.”
The Mail reports that the 22-year-old mum from Blackburn, Lancashire has earned herself a 20-week suspended prison for leaving four children under five to “fend for themselves in the filthy, cluttered house - while she partied with friends”.

Britain’s Worst Mum Introduces A Nation Of Baby Ps
THE Sun brings news of the “UK’s worst mum” who “faces jail term”.
Who is the UK’s worst mum, then? Tracey Connelly? Vanessa George?
No, it’s:
A SINGLE mum left her four kids - all aged under five - at home to go on a 24-hour drinking binge, a court heard today. The 22-year-old, branded Britain’s worst mother, knocked back a bottle of wine before going on a giant bender at town centre bars and house parties.
She is 22. She has four children. She sounds like a rubbish mother. But is she the worst?
One sickened policewoman who examined the house said: “It was a scene of filth and disorder.” Kitchen chairs had been pushed up to the units and there were children’s footprints in the milk powder where the tots had tried to climb up to the cupboards.

The Madeleine McCann GPS Locator For Your Potentially Missing Kids
MADDIE WATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann: Madeleine McCann’s name is being used in the context of a bit of kit that tags your kids.
Anna Maxted tests a new device that enables parents to track their child via satellite from a computer or mobile phone.
Anna Maxted is the Telegraph’s jobbing mum, which in the media makes her ideally placed to spread the panic about missing kidzzz. Because mums know best (in pictures).
The last time I mislaid a child – my four-year old, in the park, for 15 endless minutes – I wished unashamedly that he could be chipped, like the cat.
You mislaid a child? Surely you lose a child. You mislay your keys. Can you mislay a cat? Interestingly, one of Maxted’s kids – she has three boys - is called Oscar, which is a name ideally suited to a dog.
When Steve Salmon’s young daughter vanished during a family pub lunch (later found petting a pony in the adjacent field), he doubtless wished the same thing. Two years on, Salmon, chief executive of communications firm Lok8u, has launched the equally tongue-twisting NuM8, the world’s first GPS locator for children.
It’s not. A little research on the internet and Anorak finds this – and it is, like Maxted, beyond parody:
Child Locator as Featured in Duracell BrickHouse Child Locator Commercial; Distance Alerts help you keep a watchful eye on your wandering children, in a way that hasn’t been possible before. It’s Not You, All Children Wander; 2,185 Go Missing Every Day. Locate anything or anyone from 600 ft to an inch away. Get a warning from the custom distance alert or via included panic button tag.
It’s brought to you by Brickhouse Security. Brickhouse is a word usually joined to the word “shit”. You may also recall this warning from Anorak:
“New laws to regulate the use of high-tech child-tracking devices are being called for by MPs amid fears they could be used by paedophiles and stalkers. The technology is aimed at parents wanting to keep tabs on their children after a series of high-profile child murders and the disappearance of Madeleine McCann”
And there was this pair who rented out child tracking devices at the airport. While your stick your locator on the nose on your face, Maxted reviews her gadget:
To all appearances, it’s a chunky, child-friendly wristwatch, worn by the subject, that enables the fond parent to track their darling via satellite from a computer or mobile phone. But this is not a gadget for the morally squeamish. Behind the bright colours – choose from aqua blue, hot pink and lime green, or neutral black – the rubber strap contains a “web of reinforced steel”. If anyone – rebellious child or dastardly adult – attempts to remove the locator from its assigned wrist, Mummy or Daddy is alerted from their cappuccino via text…
Better if the in-built blowers began to shape the froth on the cappuccino to form the word “PAEDO” in chocolate.
According to the charity Missing Persons, formerly National Missing Persons Helpline, an estimated 140,000 children and young people run away or go missing every year in the United Kingdom. This, coupled with mothering three boys, has eroded my principles. I cannot wait to tag my kids.
That many, eh? How many are found alive and well? Maxted does not care to say.We do:
Tarling and Burrows’ 2004 study of Metropolitan Police missing person cases found that 99 per cent of cases were resolved within one year.
Any other facts?
A 2004 Home Office study (Newiss and Fairbrother, 2004: 1-6) found that, of the 798 police reports of child abduction and attempted child abduction in England and Wales that year:
• 56 per cent or all reports involved a stranger
• 47 per cent of all reports were ‘attempted child abductions by a stranger’
• 9 per cent of all reports were successful child abductions by a stranger
And…
…of the 798 police reports of child abduction and attempted child abduction in England and Wales that year, 23 per cent involved abduction by a parent.
Back to Maxted of the cappuccino:
Guilt forces me to opt for full disclosure. I tell the seven-year-old, “This is like a Ben 10 watch. You wear it, and I track you, like the police track baddies who try to escape from prison.”
He can but try…
I hunch over my phone in the park café, compulsively following the blue balloon on the screen’s Googlemap that proves that Oscar is safe beyond the trees, racing down the hill on his scooter without a helmet.
No helmet? WTF??!!!
It’s a luxury to sit for five minutes and know that one’s offspring has not been dragged out of the park by a predator.
Mums, eh. Always on the go.
I know he is fine, because my husband has marked a “safe zone” on the map – if Oscar breaches the park perimeter, I receive a warning text, and ‘live tracking’ will commence.
What if your husband’s taken him? What then?
Yet, as the locator doesn’t record heights, there’s always the chance that he might climb a tree – and, sipping espresso while staring at the screen balloon on my phone, if he fell out, I’d be none the wiser until the ambulance arrived.
Cappuccino. Espresso. We’re not medical experts, but we’d consider cutting down on the caffeine.
Suddenly, I feel NuM8’s reassurance is insufficient. I’m ready to step surveillance up a level. Might I suggest the next generation wristwatch comes with a hidden micro-camera, angled at my child’s face?
Then you can watch him being assaulted, smashing his head open or sobbing in real time?
This may be why, when I describe my new toy to Honor Rhodes, director of development at the Family and Parenting Institute, she is unimpressed. “Is this,” she says, “a symptom of panic-stricken but lazy parenting? I wonder what it is that we are trying to guard against, and I think it is that we don’t want our child to be Madeleine McCann. While that was so terrible, the worst thing that could possibly occur, it happens incredibly rarely. Your child is more likely to be struck by lightning.”
Was the media’s Our Maddie struck by lightning?
My resolve is tested when the three-year-old disappears into a school playground. He eventually turns up, happy and breathless, after a game of chase with the big children. I say sternly: “I didn’t know where you were, and I was frightened. Do not run off again!”
At which point he sobs and the big kids point and laugh heartily?
Meanwhile, Over in New Zealand, the tragic death of young child is the subject of the big debate: Aisling Symes was not abducted.
It is “Every parent’s secret dread“.
The tragic story of Aisling Symes captured so many hearts because it was a “lightning rod of dread” for all parents.
And then this:
The spectre of international cases, such as James Bulger, JonBenet Ramsey, and Madeleine McCann are buried deep in parental psyches, she says. However, when these cases are international, we can register but ignore them, she says. Suddenly, a child was missing in New Zealand and all those demons emerged.
And the global media reacts…
Madeleine McCann is missing - still missing. There are no suspects. there is no evidence of what happened to her. Her parents are innocent. Her name is being used to sell goods and services…

Pedos And Paedos: How Paedophile Vanessa George Made Teachers The Enemy
As paedophile Carole Clark is jailed, the media links her case to those of Vanessa George and Baby Peter Connelly…
PAEDOPHILES and suicides are always big news in the British press. If the two threads can be linked, then it’s big front-page news. Last night, London freebie London Lite had two peado/suicide shockers on its front pages:
First up was news of Peter Connelly, aka Baby P. Sharon Shoesmith, the former head of Haringey social services that failed to protect a child who was tortured and died. The paper gave readers:
“Shoesmith: I wanted to kill myself.”
Having been sacked without compensation by Children’s Secretary Ed “as a dad” Balls, Shoesmith is petitioning the High Court for an estimated £173,000, and telling us how the case affected her.
In the second front-page, readers received news of Andrew George, husband to Vanessa George, the paedophile (pictures of her here):
“Suicide bid of nursery perv’s hubby.”
In both paedo-suicide stories, the suicidal lived. And in both stories, both subjects are neither paedophiles nor guilty of any crime. But they know people who abuse children and that is enough to make them newsworthy. And we are invited to stare.
Daily Express: “NURSERY PAEDOPHILE’S HUSBAND IN SUICIDE BID”
Andrew George tells the Daily Star:
“What I did wasn’t a serious bid to kill myself but I wanted the authorities to realise I need help too.”
The Mirror brings more news in “NURSERY HUBBY SUICIDE BID”.
Dad-of-two Andrew George (right), aged 41, was rushed to hospital after he downed a cocktail of alcohol and pills. Paramedics were called to his Plymouth home shortly before midday on Tuesday. Back home yesterday, gas fitter Andrew said: “I don’t really want to talk about it. I feel very good - this has been the best day in a long time. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have been feeling like I was carrying the weight of the nation on my shoulders.”
But what about the paedo stories? The Telegraph looks about the court news and settles up on one, linking it to the Vanessa George case:
Carol Clarke, 46, admitted crimes against boys and girls mostly aged between four and seven in and around Grimsby, in Lincolnshire. Clarke, of Grimsby, worked as a part-time tutor for adult students at Franklin College in Grimsby between October 2003 and April 2007 and also taught adults from home.
The Mirror wants the link to nursery school worker Vanessa George to be more overt:
“Paedo woman teacher’s shocking cop confession”
The media message is that teachers are not to be trusted. But two teaching paedophiles do not make a trend. Pedagogue. Paedophile. Peda! Paedo! Make the link in the Daily Mail.
The case follows the shocking prosecution of nursery worker Vanessa George, 39, who admitted carrying out a string of child sex offences at Bristol Crown Court last week.
Well, not exactly. The prosecution was not shocking – if it were then paedos would hold sway in our Brave New World…

Vanessa George: Suicide, Jokes And Spreading The Fear
VANESSA George Watch: The media gets to know the nursery school paedophile - Facebook, suicide and sick jokes…
Daily Star: “GEORGE’S SICK KID-SEX JOKES”
That’s it! She can abuse children, but to make a joke of it is plain wrong.
The sick chat took place on a webpage where someone posted a message claiming he had been “fiddled” with as a kid. George replied “lol”, which stands for Laugh Out Loud. And she added: “I think he needs closure – or another fiddle!”
Not much of a joke. If you want jokes, you might enjoy these, some of which were published in the national press and told on stage before a paying crowd.
Bristol Evening News: “Steve Scott: Child abuse nursery worker was devil disguised”
The devil disguised with a smile and a nursery worker’s uniform. There but for the grace of God goes every single parent reading this who has used a nursery.

Vanessa George: All The News And Opinions
ALL the news on Vanessa George, the nursery paedophile who along with Angela Allen, and Colin Blanchard distributed and made indecent pictures of children.
News of The World: In “Our Mum The Monster”, the News of The World introduces Vanessa George’s family.
Andrew George is pictured with daughters Grace and Pearl. Says Andrew:
“I call her monster now. And the kids don’t want anything to do with her.”
Now I see her as cold, calculating scum - and I don’t want her to ever see our kids again.”
Although she can see them - in the tabloids.
A typical day:
“She was brilliant with kids. She got that nursery place through Ofsted reports. She was even doing work courses on how to spot child sex abuse earlier this year…
“I remember her watching news programmes, and if a paedophile came on screen she would stand up and shout ‘f****ing b*****d, cut his f*****ing balls off’.
“I call her the monster now. She’s evil. Pure evil. And the kids don’t want anything to do with her.”

Another Of Our Blondes Is Missing: Jill Dando Killer Appeals
ANY visiting Americans and Portuguese glancing at the covers of our tabloid press may suppose that not a day passes without a blonde missing or being murdered.
“Dear Anorak,” they write, “is Anthea Turner OK? Take care of Joanna Lumley (thankfully, now greying). Is Vanessa Feltz a natural blonde?”
That British blondes are in danger is being question. And today the Mail looks at Jill Dando, a blonde TV host who was murdered.
Blonde Jill is pictured looking tanned and relaxed. Her hair is suggestive of Princess Diana. Dando is sat by an azure sea of water. Beneath her bare legs, the Express notes: “Why I should go free, by Jill Dando ‘killer’.”
Note that the word “killer” is in quotation marks. “So did he really kill Jill?” asks the Express, words hanging above a shot of Barry George, “fantasist”, “sex offender” and “obsessive”.
“Forensic scientists speak of doubts as Barry George launches new fight against conviction,” notes the paper.
George is appealing against his conviction for murder. (Dando was shot dead on her doorstop in 1999.) Scientists now say the “compelling” evidence of gunshot residue in his coat pocket is “worthless”.
So there is cause for appeal. And the disappearance of another British blonde is embroiled is doubt and controversy.
Al Fayed offers no comment.

WELCOME to Edition 132 of the Britblog Roundup brought to you from a country with four separate administrations (two for the main linguistic communities, one for the capital and one federal), where in spite of this proliferation of bureaucracy the only surveillance cameras are perched atop traffic lights.
As digested by Redemption Blues.
As ever, we commence our voyage round the blogosphere with the cut and thrust of political debate. Even the incessant downpours that deprived those of us in northern climes of a proper summer failed to dampen the campaigning spirit.
“- It will make people happy who are unhappy due to their medical circumstances;
- It will make people happy who are unhappy due to the fact that placing a television in the corner of a room, tuning it to a spoken-word station and then turning the sound off is beyond a fatuous use of valuable NHS funds and approaching the provocation to riot;
- The staff on the ward will all naturally work a lot faster as they are inspired by the pace of the movie;
- If there is a fight or aggravation by drunks, people will know how to avoid being hit by running round the room five times and then doing a head-over-heels through the aggressor’s legs before turning round to kick them in the bottom”.
‘There are a lot of kids round here who know all about drugs. You go to a house and knock on the door and the kids come and check you out through the letter box – not like a normal kid that’s just being curious and having a laugh. They look through the letter box to see if you’re a source of danger and then they go back and tell Mum. These kids know all the different names for different drugs – what they look like, how much they cost, where to buy them. They’re bound to. They’re growing up with this stuff all around them. You’ll see them out on the streets on their own, as young as four or five years old, just roaming around, looking for trouble. If you come down here at night, they’re still there, sniffing glue, setting fire to empty houses, just roaming around’” (pp161-2).
The source drawn on is Ben Leapman’s article in the Sunday Telegraph, in which he speculates that the heavy-handed attitude of social services in taking children away on the pretext that they might fall victim to “emotional abuse” is motivated by a desire to meet adoption targets as opposed to any genuine concern for the welfare of the infant in question. The article contains one very revealing snippet from the recording: “The social worker says the two or three days the mother has with her baby in hospital will allow her to begin breast-feeding and that once the infant is taken away, social services will pick up expressed breast milk from her home and deliver it to the foster carers for bottle-feeding”.
‘Emotional abuse’ has no strict definition in British law. Yet it now accounts for an astounding 21 per cent of all children registered as needing protection, up from 14 per cent in 1997”.
Perspicacious as ever, Natalie at Philobiblon excoriates the pathetic sentence meted out to a wife-batterer, which does nothing to challenge the trivialisation of domestic violence. That justice is blinkered by class prejudice rather than impartially blind shines through: the “respectable” tormenter is depicted as an aberration, as he fails to fit the stereotype of boozing knuckle-dragger from the sink estates. Note how in the newspaper coverage his income defines him, people who earn that much just don’t do that kind of thing – and such pervasive attitudes may account for the judge’s leniency: “But the judge said it was the circumstances of the marriage that had provoked Read and that now those circumstances had gone, sending him to prison would ‘help no one’.
What’s the bet the ‘circumstances’ of his next relationship will be, to him, equally provoking? About 100% I’d reckon”.
Sharon Howard at Early Modern Notes ponders university degrees and “Mickey Mouse” courses with a detailed and critical examination of the Taxpayers’Alliance’s study The Non-Courses Report, which pinpoints its methodological weaknesses. Unsurprisingly, the criteria for deciding what belongs under the heading “Mickey Mouse” course are not free from an unsavoury element of snobbery. Passage of time and inclusion in the literary canon: “There are specific choices, though, that puzzle me. They really have it in for all Equine-related courses, but why, since this doesn’t generally extend to Sports Studies/Sciences courses? What is it about horses that puts them beyond the pale? And then, for once there are remarkably few cultural studies targets. But actually, the sparsity of these raises questions about the examples that have been chosen. Why does a course on ’science fiction and culture’ have so much less credibility than more traditional literary/cultural offerings such as Romanticism or 18th-century novels? (On further investigation, it sounds like an interesting course to me, in fact; it’s not just science fiction, but, by the sound of it, an interdisciplinary exploration of the roles and images of science in modern society)”.
And this is revolutionary how exactly? If you were transported back in time to Arthur Balfour’s government and you got to be a fly on the wall as they debated over business in the colonies and the place of the brown person biblically speaking, this is the kind of stuff you would be hearing. Oh, there would be much more talk of God and whether or not to administer floggings, that’s for sure, but the basic narrative would be the same. After all, it’s in the interest of any company to keep its staff in full working order. There were plenty of people who thought indigenous people in the colonies shouldn’t be mistreated back then too, mostly for that reason, but not mistreating someone doesn’t mean you think they should have equal rights to you”.
It seems to me that we all have potential to reshape who we are and are all products of our past. We are simultaneously in a process of change and continuation. We are not identical to our past and yet do not have the possibility of becoming *anything* only those things we can get to from where we are now”.
Tim Worstall, the scourge of the scammers, alerts us to the latest ploy to raid our bank accounts whilst making a very valid observation on the laxity of the dead tree Press when it comes to vetting the advertisements it prints.
However conducive to human contentment it might be to maintain a mystical view of the cosmos, to do so is like an Amazonian tribe living on the edge of an expanding city. Your world is being encroached on everyday, and there is nowhere to retreat to”.
Precious wingdust is flutter-splatter pitter-patter pattern at a print. Dream vector, feeds on sleep?”

CELEBRITY Big Brother is back.
The show that reduced Vanessa Feltz to meltdown, reunited Jackie Stallone with her former daughter-in-law Brigitte Nielson and made a C-list star of Chantelle Houghton is here again.
How we warmed to Preston. How Michael Barrymore looked almost normal, less than demonic when stripped of his mania and cigarettes.
How we saluted MP George Galloway’s courage, strength and indefatigability as he made like a puffed-up cat to lap imaginary milk from actress Rula Lenska’s open hand.
Big Brother 2007. And the great and good aim to show the world their truer selves as they take part in elaborate tasks and nominate each other for eviction.
Separated from their agents, removed from their make-up artistes, stylists and bathed in unfavourable lighting, the beautiful people will be in the raw.
Stripped of the panoply of their cosseted, airbrushed and pampered lives the celebrities locked in the Big Brother compound run the risk of looking too much like the rest of us. Could they look worse than us? Cripes! Is that possible?
But let us not be too hard on these vain, posturing, self-agrandising celebrities. Big Brother is first and foremost about entertainment, not some modern take on gladiatorial combat in which our champions are fed to the lions.
The winner of Big Brother 2007 will take the spoils - contracts to present a daytime telly show, advertise life insurance and tell the world their life story via the glossy pages of showbiz magazines.
But, of course, there are no losers in Big Brother. They are all winners, with the possible exception of Anthea Turner, obviously.
You see, Big Brother is for charity. Each celebrity housemate nominates a good cause to support. Monies raised via telephone voting will be split equally among the agonists’ charities. Each housemate will collect the same amount for their chosen charity, regardless of where they finish.
That said, all of the contestants desire victory, to be the most popular, the most loved, the least despised. And betting on which of the bunch will win adds spice to Celebrity Big Brother 2007. Take the bet.
And who will win big Brother? Well, that is up to you. Bet now and bet often…

Georgy Porgy has yet to kiss any of the girls. He has also yet to make any of them cry. Nikki has wailed a bit, but then Nikkis life is one long wail.
But let us not be overly tough on Nikkki. As Grace said in the Diary Room, the woman who looks like a shriveled version of Vanessa Feltz has a mother figure in Lea and father figure in Richard. Its easy to blame the parents for how Nikkkki has turned out. She didnt stand a chance.
But she does seem to like George. Watching Nikkkki teeter past in a pelmet-sized skirt, Grace asked: Doesn’t she feel a breeze, just walking around with her flaps hanging out?”
George, who in moments of quiet reflection seems to be chewing the cud like some well-spoken ruminant, thought a little.
“The night she came in she had a front wedgie, it was going right up there,” said George. “It’s not remotely attractive”.
George is above such things.
And Nikkkkki has sensed a frost. I think George looks down on me, because he’s upper class and I’m middle class,” she said. He’s not interested in me because I haven’t been to public school. He thinks I’m common. Grace is like that too, and it’s made me feel bad about myself. I’m feeling paranoid.”
But at least her paranoia isnt groundless they really dont like her…

‘WITH Ozzy Osbourne still trying to recover his shakes after his ordeal at the hands of a gem thief, we have tales of more intruders this morning.
|
| ‘Pallid’ |
Intruder No.1 is Vic Reeves, who was parachuted into the Australian jungle to be reunited with wife Nancy Sorrell and to put a bit of passion (2) into this years Im A Celebrity.
The Star (Well Fumble In The Jungle) says the comics arrival hasnt met with universal approval, especially from Fran Cosgrove (who had been making pathetic attempts to get into Nancys knickers) and Janet Street-Porter (who is worried shell be kept awake by Vic getting into Nancys knickers).
But hes a lot more welcome than the female stalker who, the Sun says, has now TWICE broken into George Michaels North London home.
And more welcome indeed than our old friends, The Sex Inspectors.
Award-winning Star columnist, former TV presenter and part-time bouncy castle Vanessa Feltz this morning issues this warning dont go sticking your snooty noses under my duvet.
Somehow, Nessie, we think youre safe.
The nation may be happy to witness a live post-mortem, to watch Rebecca Loos pleasuring farmyard animals and to see Janet Street-Porter without make-up.
But there are still some things we really havent got the stomach for…’

‘AS anyone who saw Robin Cook rocking like a demented gnome to D:Reams Things Can Only Get Better and John Prescott getting drenched in water at the Brits knows, politics and pop are not easy bedfellows.

| ‘And the award for Best Presidential Hair goes to…’ |
Every dour political party needs a bit of razzamatazz to toss stardust into the eyes of an insipid and bored electorate.
But they do not need Britney Spears.
Someone described as an insider in the Republican Party tells the Star that the singers appearance at the Republican convention in New York has been cancelled.
And why? We are a serious political party fighting to stay in power, says the source. We just dont get what Britney has to offer our cause.
We at Anorak take the point, and agree that it would be a mistake for someone of George Bushs massive intellect and great standing to be associated with a blonde whos made a fool of herself in public.
Better to ask Bushs daughters Jenna (blonde) and Barbara (less blonde) to take to the stage at the annual MTV Music Awards in Miami and tells the crowd to vote for pop.
Educate yourself and vote, screamed Jenna, who, as the Mail says, at least had the brain power to deliver her message via a video to the assembled music fans.
The same cannot be said of John Kerrys daughters, Vanessa (blonde) and Alex (red), who, the Mail says, appeared in person to address the crowd.
My sister and I are thrilled to be here, said Alex from the stage. I suggest that we all take this chance to get out and vote.
And thats not to vote for the Best Use of The Word Ho in Rap or the Best Hair In Pop, but to vote for her dad to be the leader of the free world.
This did not go down too well with the crowd, who jeered and booed the pair. Alex tried to reach out and win the crowd over by placing a finger over her lips.
But even this oh-so un-patronising gesture was greeted with catcalls and demands for them to go and go quickly lest they be on the wrong end of some direct, politically-motivated action.’

‘IN a piece of brazen vote-rigging that would make even the Bush brothers blush, EastEnders is going to be named Best Soap at the Inside Soap awards in a couple of weeks time.

| The sexiest woman in soaps? |
The BBC soap may be more of a turn-off than Vanessa Feltz in her sexiest lingerie, but that wont stop the residents of Walford lording it over their Coronation Street rivals.
And to cap it all Albert Squares Kat Slater (aka Jessie Wallace) will probably be named Sexiest Woman In Soaps, evidence of why our ancestors resisted the universal franchise for so long.
It is the equivalent of George Bush winning Mastermind, King Alfred winning Masterchef and Ben Affleck winning a Best Actor Oscar all rolled into one.
If there was a Watching Paint Dry award, we can understand why EastEnders would be in with a good shout, but unless the purpose of a soap is to put its dwindling audience into a coma, then how come it is the best?
Even Emmerdale can feel aggrieved and theyll be positively spitting on Hollyoaks.’

‘IN summer, a young woman’s fancy turns to the hairdresser and causes her to spend £2,000 on a new hair-do.
 |
| Gwyneth Paltrow |
That’s what the Mail says Kylie splashed out on her new image, which took seven hours to make real.
It makes a change to see Kylie’s face instead of her proffered backside, but for a real refreshing picture, the Mail also has a shot of George Best, reformed alcoholic and one-time footballer.
Getting in shape for the summer season of sizzling flesh, Best is pictured canoodling with his young wife Alex and getting in some miles on the treadmill.
”Three months ago, if you’d asked me to take off my shirt in a gym, I’d have told you to get lost,” says Best, now proud of his toned and tanned frame.
While we are happy for Best and Kylie, it’s hard not to be troubled by this ardent pursuit of perfection.
It’s time to accept the walking disaster that you are, put your fat foot forward and say: ”I do not care! I am Vanessa! I am all woman!”
The Sun sees Vanessa Feltz, for it is she, doing for womankind what the Hindenburg did for air travel.
The Sun even says that Vanessa looks like Gwyneth Paltrow - ”in her film Shallow Hal, that is”.’
