At what age does a girl become a woman? Emily Ratajkowsk was 14 when she first started modelling. So too was Kate Moss. Naomi Campbell was 15. Twiggy 16. And BTW, Iโ€™m not body shaming women. Quite the opposite.

Jennifer Aniston is 5 feet 4 1/2 inches. Kylie is 4 feet 11. Tina Turner 5 feet four inches. They could all wear bin bags and still look great but thatโ€™s just my opinion.

Really? Iโ€™m not sure many men would find anorexic girls particularly sexy.

Iโ€™m sure youโ€™re right but Iโ€™m not sure exploiting that angle makes good business sense. The money is in selling lots of items and therefore targeting persons of a below average weight, canโ€™t be cost effective, can it?
Iโ€™m not knocking Zara for their acumen. They obviously know more than I do.

I would be the very first to say that I know next to nothing about fashion, so hereโ€™s the question: given that desperately thin girls have always been in the minority, why do fashion houses like Zara continue to target this small consumer group when the average woman is of a larger size?

There will be a number of extremely wealthy high profile people in the Epstein files. They donโ€™t want us to know who they are and why they were on the island and they will do literally anything, including silencing Epstein and pressurising Trump to stop the files being released.

Thanks. I understood your first answer. It was my clumsy answer that threw you. What I was trying to say is that a number of women have been brave enough to take on Trump and some have even received compensation, but none that I am aware of are linked to Epstein Island. Itโ€™s not too late!

28.07.2025 23:00 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

As you will know, a number of women have come forward with allegations against Trump for sexual assault and a number have received compensation but as far as I know, none have linked him to Epstein island. Happy to be proved wrong.

27.07.2025 20:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Thanks but none of that has any connection to Epstein Island and all the allegations are dead in the water. The files may get released and he may be found to be on them but just being on the files and the island isnโ€™t a criminal offence. Lots of people visited the island. That wonโ€™t stand up.

30? I only know of 2. What is your source?

I thought he was talking about the UK at first, because we have something similar here in embryo. Weโ€™ll catch you up though. We usually do. Just a matter of time.

Trump stated on a number of occasions that he never went to the island. Known flight logs only show that he used Epsteinโ€™s jet to travel from Florida to N York. Even if he did go to the island, thatโ€™s not grounds for conviction. Itโ€™s just lies, he does that all the time. Gonna take more than that.

There were public allegations against Trump in connection to Epsteinโ€™s gatheringsโ€”particularly the Jane Doe/Katie Johnson lawsuit and the Stacey Williams claim but both were withdrawn or dismissed. No criminal charges or convictions have emerged.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social
Itโ€™s poss that Trump is named in the Epstein files. I would be surprised if he wasnโ€™t, given their known relationship but what is needed is for someone to come forward and publicly state that she was a victim as in the case of Epstein, Maxwell and Prince Andrew.

Trump must be getting better at golf. He hasnโ€™t lost since he became President!

Iโ€™m beginning to think those words should be heeded by all of us on here too now. โ€œThereโ€™s a lot of it aboutโ€ as Eric Morecambe might have said.

Itโ€™s odd that a UK citizen with a criminal conviction for "crimes involving moral turpitude" would not be allowed to enter the US, but here comes Donny. A man who thinks moral turpitude has something to do with washing out paint brushes.

Itโ€™s a shameful story and as Lewis says. there are still some aspects of it that he is not able to report on. Why?
I wonder too how those now in danger can get out of Afghanistan as there are no safe routes and applying via the Taliban would raise suspicion?

Had he more belief in the EU and actively campaigned to Remain, we wouldnโ€™t be losing ยฃ40B every year and maybe we wouldnโ€™t have to have all these cuts!

Apologies. They are advertising Pepsi, not Coke but itโ€™s all the same to me!

Indeed and when heโ€™s not advertising Coke heโ€™s advertising Stella Artois!

I havenโ€™t touched the stuff for 10 years, not since this Dispatches by Mark Thomas. He also wrote a book โ€œBelching Out The Devilโ€ both worth watching and reading.

Her job is to vote. Itโ€™s why she was elected. She could have abstained if she felt unable to vote for A50 or paired but instead, she claimed she was unwell. Maybe she was, maybe she wasnโ€™t.
I hope youโ€™re making a good recovery.

Sir David Beckham and Laura James are featured advertising Coke! They clearly need the money! The obvious intention is to encourage people, particularly young people to drink it and to be like them. I would be more impressed if they spent their time telling kids not to drink it.

Am I the only one who thinks itโ€™s a bit immoral for two of our top sports personalities to be persuading our youth to be drinking a product that is partly responsible for the obesity and the consequential ill health of half the worldโ€™s population?

Apart from the time she pulled a sicky so she didnโ€™t have to adhere to the whip imposed by Jeremy Corbyn to trigger Article 50
