I was watching BBC World the other day when they interviewed a documentary about the effect that President Berlusconi?s Television Empire has had on Italian TV. The BBC obligingly showed some clips from his film some of them featuring models and television personalities that showed women who were dressed sexily. The filmmaker pointed to the screen and said ?Look at them they are like animals.? The analogy was completely false because these happy smiling, sophisticated women were the opposite of animals and positive images of culture.

Sadly it is true that in the UK there is at this moment a politically correct attitude among the media and government that finds the portrayal of sexually attractive women inherently wrong. We can no longer see acts like Pan?s People and the very popular Benny Hill was banned from our screens a long time ago and most female television presenter are buttoned up to the neck as opposed to the proud display of cleavage on Italian TV. This attitude filters down from ?feminist? women in government who are unremittingly ugly and asexual and who seem to resent sexual attractiveness in other women and also the effect of religious and moral criticism from other countries.

It is natural that women, especially the fecund, should be sexually attractive and it is right that they should be, and seen to be, and there should be no suggestion that thee is anything wrong in this. Sexual attractiveness has a purpose and it is procreation, and of course women usually don?t think of selection and sexual chemistry when dressing-up or putting on make-up in order to attract a mate but that is what is happening.

It is true there are a lot of sexually attractive women on Italian TV and they are uninhibited about seen as such and it is acceptable to the media and to the audiences to portray women as feminine and sexual attractive. I think that the Italians have the right and natural attitude to women?s sexuality and not the politically correct prudes in British media and particularly the BBC.

However these attitudes are not shared by British women who enjoy being sexually attractive, dressing up being sexy and enjoying themselves and no matter how hard the prudes try to alter attitudes it will not filter down to the masses.

I live in constant frustration with TV.

A handful of self-appointed busybodies seem to control something which has millions of viewers. The effort put into eliminating titillation from our TV screens, while allowing all sorts of violence is quite insane.

My gripe, apart from violence, is graphic medical procedures which I find unwatchable and I'm proud to feel that way. It's not natural to feel unaffected by someones gizzards spread out before you in glorious colour. Yet we see this so often now and I frequently find myself diving for the remote when the latest arsehole transplant is featured.

But girls dancing in skimpy outfits are banned because its supposed to degrade women. No one actually asks the women who dance if they feel degraded - the feminists consider them too stupid to think for themselves while claiming to be raising the status of women!

It's no wonder TV viewer numbers are dropping overall and they must be leaving TV behind for the internet where porn is king and many women happily expose themselves for fun and profit. God bless 'em.

Reggie Perrin,
I see lots of attractive ones walking down the High Street and up Leicester Square on a Friday night my eyes were popping out. Oh those English girls they are sexy, different from Italian girls though some of whom are really beautiful and sophisticated the type usually only found among the Upper Class Brits.

Deano,
I agree with what you say one hundred per cent and I feel that what you say is shared by the majority of British people.
