No means no.

I was amazed last week when I saw a news feature on the emergence of a new Playboy club down in London. What amazed me most is that here in the modern world, Playboy clubs still exist.

Essentially, Playboy is a brand that makes large amounts of money by using women as basic objects, however some would disagree arguing that the women involved are ‘modern-day feminists’ empowering themselves and getting paid well while they’re at it. The fact still remains however that although they are paid, the profit made by the business is far greater than the wage expense, or ‘maintenance costs’ as they may call it.

BBC Three does politics.

BBC Three aired a special version of Question Time on Wednesday, the same day as the budget. They made it especially for youths (hence its BBC Three appearance) and named it Young Voter’s Question Time. It was actually pretty good, I hope they do this sort of thing more often as it gets young people involved in politics. Which can only be a good thing.

To keep it down with the kids the Beeb decided to remix the Question Time theme into this weird sped-up version that wasn’t patronising at all, invited 150 under-25s to be in the audience and threw in Richard Bacon to host it. He was actually not too bad, he did sometimes argue with the panellists when he was supposed to be chairman but whatever, I didn’t really care. He otherwise kept a lid on it well and stopped the audience from killing many.
