This all sounds like the ridiculously OTT piece CV did on the "Tonight"

tabloid-ese show on ITV. She was banging on about how the internet (and in

particular giving all children at schools an email address) was a license

for paedophiles to harm our children. The fact that, like all children's

activities, lack of supervision is the key to risk was slightly ignored...


I agree, she really is a media prostitute - it appears she will support any

cause that gives her exposure and/or money...
