Another art model I used to know was studying for a PhD in astrophysics at Cambridge university and modeling to pay her tuition fees and accommodation. I believe she's a professor now.

And yes, some women unfortunately end up being forced into that line of work. That doesn't demean anybody except the customers.

I used to know an art model in Paris who had a PhD in art history. She lived in a nice apartment, never seemed to work and was writing a book about philosophy. One day I asked her how she paid for this lifestyle - she told me she earned €20k every two months for one weekend in Dubai as an escort.

I used to work in IT before retiring in my forties and becoming a fashion photographer. Yes, the patriarchy objectifies women and tries to force them to conform to its rules. Why do you think Zuckerberg bans nipples on Meta platforms? It's not to empower women.

It seems to me you have a very judgmental attitude towards women who use their bodies rather than their brains to make money. Just because you wouldn't choose to be a stripper or sex worker (and neither would I) doesn't make those women who do less worthy of respect than you in any way.

This isn’t surprising. Trump is anti-Ukraine and he has always hated Zelensky. But he has been constrained by something (public opinion? GOP behind the scenes? Bureaucracy?) from fully throwing US power behind Putin. Can this change now? Tbh, I don’t know. What I do know is that…

I honestly don't understand how you come to the conclusion that one woman choosing to be a stripper demeans anybody, let alone *all* women. Men do jobs that some people find distasteful all the time; nobody says that demeans them, and certainly not all men. To be honest, the most demeaning

I didn't say it was. But either way, if a woman chooses to make a living as a porn star or escort that's up to her and there's nothing inherently worse about it than a man making a living as an athlete, labourer or truck driver.

I agree journalists should be paid. That's what newspapers and magazines are for. Yes, I'll buy a novel by a writer as a one-off but substack doesn't have a "pay 20p for this article" option; you have to subscribe for £5.99 a month even if you'd only read 3 articles per month... maybe.

I agree that Melania isn't a feminist and absolutely isn't a good example for anyone! But nude modelling isn't the issue here. Even if she doesn't believe it personally, she's happy to go along with the 'women are chattels' mindset of Tump and his buddies. She's a traitor to women everywhere.

As an art and fashion photographer I've known many nude models; some of them have become good friends of many years' standing. I'm pretty sure none of them would agree with you. Do nude male models and/or sex workers 'demean all men'? And if not, why should a different standard apply for women?

Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU Member States and NATO Allies. Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war.

Also the ability for UK citizens to live, work and retire in the EU. Or just go back and forth whenever we like. And vice versa; which gives the UK access to a flexible pool of labour for building houses, staffing the NHS and social care. All without the limiting, expensive paperwork we have now.

In a new Truth Social post, Trump explains why he should have received the Nobel Peace Prize—writing entirely in the voice of a man being forcibly removed from a Cheesecake Factory. Really unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize laureate.

Screenshot of a long Truth Social post from Donald Trump dated 9 October 2026. The full thing is here https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117414533410378018. It's too long for alt text, but begins:

******
This is the woman who received the Nobel Peace Prize over the Great United States of America, whose Representative, ME, settled eight Wars, and many other things. I know nothing about this woman, and neither does anyone else! In fact, to the best of my knowledge, no one ever heard of her other than the fact that she, very obviously, hates Israel. I don’t know what the woman has done. I settled 8 Wars, with letters being sent from every President and Prime Minister from the countries that I helped to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and I’m about to settle, or win, two more, Iran and, Russia/Ukraine. They’re both happening at breakneck speed but, forget them, it’s the 8 that I’ve already settled, any one of which, in particular, Pakistan and India, would be far more than necessary to win the Nobel Prize. In actuality, I should have won 8 Nobel Peace Prizes, not just 1. The 8 Wars are:

Cambodia and Thailand
Kosovo and Serbia
The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda
Pakistan and India
Israel and Iran
Egypt and Ethiopia
Armenia and Azerbaijan
Israel and Hamas

Additionally, I stopped Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon, and blowing up the entire Middle East and, ultimately, far beyond! I saved more lives than anyone in History and, as Maria Corina Machado, a truly fine person, stated to the Media when she gave me her Nobel Prize of last year, “Donald Trump settled many Wars, and deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than any person that has ever received it.” Based on my record of PEACE, a record like no one else has ever achieved, I agree! I got back all of the hostages in Israel, including the final 28, both living and dead, and worked with Hamas to do it — Nobody believed this was possible! I removed the World’s Evil Dictator, Nicolas Maduro, from Ve…
