Excuse the Australian ignorance but who is Richard Desmond?

Was he previously a female pornstar whos gone over to bat for the otherside?

Just curious

cheers
B...OZ

Yes.
Well, no, actually.
Mag publisher and wannabee power-broker. The usual.....
Ignore him, he'll go away.

He achieved notoriety in the UK for have made
political donations to the Labour party and
buying a british newspaper publisher (forget
which one).

Daily Express, twinned to the Star, he also publishes a lot of s/c mags, and some h/c as well, allegedly links in the past to
mafia, although I can write this because it,s true and has been documented, as no doubt it will be tonight, anyway he,s rich and donated some cash to the L.Party.
So Ian Drunken spliff cried "outrage" I saw him going in the Red Lion in Sutton-Colefield with Saddam Hussain as well, for a pint and then on to the topkapi for a kebab! well thats what I heard anyway...


where,s that bastard tea-bag gone?......

some context for richard desmond: an interesting article, plus a nice quote from gore vidal.

mike from england's "fact" about porn workers having one of the highest suicide rates sounds spuirious. has anyone ever heard of a survey claiming this to be the case? if not, it could do with a vigorous rebuttal by someone with direct experience of working in the industry.

I don't know were he got that 'fact' from

This page has 1999 stats for US

Fascinating, but depressing (not to the point of suicide, I hope !!).
Apparently farmers, students and doctors are the 'leaders' over here. The pornstars claim sounds like utter tripe.

"The only thing pornography is known to cause is the solitary act of masturbation" (Gore Vidal)


Apart from, initiating great mutualy consenting sex between adults.

And providing visually exciting entertainement to watch for both males and females.

And providing a scource of great entertainement for adult,s
who would rather rip thier own eyes out, than have to watch
mainstream trash like, Eastenders, C.street, Emmerdale farm
Blind date, Barrymore.... the list goes on and on .

Obviously Vidal, sees the "act of masturbation" as a 1st class
ticket to lonlieness

But don't forget he's talking from the standpoint of a highly egotistical (though quite talented), utter, utter raving Queen.
