Description

In 1986 Clare Short introduced her Private's Member's Bill in the House of Commons to ban Page 3. The size of her postbag the following Monday morning and the vicious attacks on her in the tabloid press (The Sun even ran a Stop Crazy Clare campaign), made it clear that Page 3 pornography was a heartfelt issue for people of all ages, in all parts of the country and of all political persuasions.

In 1986, Clare Short introduced a bill into the UK parliament to ban "page 3 girls" (i.e. soft porn in daily newspapers). This is the story of that Bill and its reception in Parliament, with an edited selection of letters from British women and men. Highly readable.
