Some immigrant to the UK fulminates: : I'm proud to be part of Middle Britain. But the virtues that : make me love this country are under growing attack Among his complaints is the following: : I am appalled, for instance, at the 'sexploitation' of young girls : by encouraging them to dress provocatively or move suggestively. : What sort of sick society is it that peddles children’s clothing : emblazoned with the slogan 'porn star'? And furthermore: : I am certainly no prude, but I am too embarrassed to watch : The X Factor with my daughter, so ultra-sexualised are many : of the dance routines and outfits. It is a travesty to call this : a family show. Then the writer goes on to say: : There are other aspects of modern Britain that cause despair, : like the prevalence of binge-drinking, the lack of respect shown : to elders and the high levels of family breakdown. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/a...bate-Proud-Middle-Britain-virtues-attack.html Nowhere does this guy mention UK classic motorcycles. And I thought respect for antique machinery was a core value in Britain. As for girls strutting their stuff, that sort of thing has been going on since the Dawn of Time; it's a perfectly natural biological imperative. "Thank heaven for little girls for little girls get bigger every day! "Thank heaven for little girls they grow up in the most delightful way! "Those little eyes so helpless and appealing one day will flash and send you crashin' thru the ceilin' "Thank heaven for little girls thank heaven for them all, no matter where no matter who for without them, what would little boys do? "Thank heaven... thank heaven... Thank heaven for little girls!" -- Maurice Chevalier (Lyrics from Gigi) SQ
