  Caroline Lucas rebuked for wearing T-shirt calling for end to page 3
 

Green MP Caroline Lucas has been rebuked in parliament for wearing a campaign T-shirt calling for an end to "page 3" during a debate about media sexism. Shortly into her speech, Labour's Jimmy Hood who was chairing,welcome to Best Discount ED Hardy(women) online store,find Latest Styles!‎ told Lucas that her attire was "not in line with regulations" and "may cause offence".

Lucas responded by holding up an image of a topless model on page 3 of the Sun. She said, "It strikes me as an irony that this T-shirt is seen as offensive", pointing out that there are eight outlets on the parliamentary estate that sell copies of the paper.

The former Green party leader, who had organised a Westminster Hall debate on sexism in the media, arrived with a group of campaigners all wearing white T-shirts that read "No More Page 3". Members of the group were asked by parliamentary officials to remove or cover up the T-shirts.

Before putting her jacket back on, Lucas called on Ed Vaizey, the minister for culture, communication and the creative industries, to support her in a campaign to remove the Sun from the Houses of Parliament until the images of topless women are removed from the paper. She called them a "sexist anachronism" that should be "consigned to the rubbish bins of history, where they belong".“The person started to pull, and I started to pull,” she said, adding the other person pulled harder, and somehow she fell from a concrete path to a lawn, and struck her head.

“I saw someone in black running away, and I called for help,” she testified through tears.Greaser also played the surveillance camera video that ultimately enabled Lubbock police to identify Parker and led to his surrender.It initially shows Parker, in a dark T-shirt and shorts, walking up to the door, apparently to see if it was unlocked.

Perry was seen walking across the parking lot toward the entry and Parker sprinted up behind her, his left hand drawing the front of his T-shirt up in front of his face like a mask.

Both disappear below the camera’s field of view, then Perry rolls onto the lawn.Since the robbery, she said, she does not go out at night.“I don’t like to even go out in my front yard or on my back porch at night,” she said.During a meeting with reporters after the sentencing, she said, “I hope I can get back to walking across the street to visit my neighbors.”

At school very few teachers and staff use the parking lot where the robbery occurred, she said.On the job, she said, she won’t walk alone down the hallway toward the door where the robbery occurred.She said she had hoped McClendon would order a prison sentence.“I hope he doesn’t ever do anything like this again,” she said of Parker, adding, “I don’t know why he did this. He should know that teachers don’t have any money.”

But the minister declined to support the campaign,Our store can offer Discount and high quality Ralph Lauren(women) T-Shirts, welcome choose! saying that "freedom of expression is a vital part of our society" and that the press was already subject to legal constraints.Calling on the government to take action if the Sun's editors do not stop publishing daily pictures of topless women on page three by the end of the year, Lucas said: "Women have been degraded,welcome to High quality Burberry Long Sleeve T-Shirts,find Latest Styles!‎ belittled and served up as sex objects in some of our daily newspapers for many years ...welcome to Buy Cheap Hermes T-Shirts online store,Free shipping‎! A government-commissioned sexualisation of young people review found there is evidence that suggests a clear link between consumption of sexualised images, a tendency to view women as objects and the acceptance of aggressive attitudes and behaviour as the norm."

She said the Sun contained pictures that are illegal on workplace walls because of equality legislation. "Sexually objectifying images which would be restricted from broadcast media before the 9pm watershed are printed in national newspapers which are not age-restricted and are displayed at child's eye level", she said.

"As the nation's most popular newspaper, the Sun is seen by 7.5 million people per day, according to market data. Many have not chosen to view these images but they can't be avoided – whether in cafes, on the bus, or left lying around the pub. And this means that children in particular risk being exposed to page three."

The No More Page 3 campaign was launched last summer and has attracted over a million signatures.

In a tweet earlier this year, Rupert Murdoch suggested that he would consider replacing the Sun's page 3 glamour model with a "halfway house" approach featuring "glamorous fashionistas", though no further action has been taken.
