/// The glamorous 40-year-old former GMTV political editor was 15 when she posed for the pictures to earn money to buy herself some new clothes. ///
There are plenty of girls who are short of money but who would never dream of posing topless for money at any age never mind at just 15 years of age, but even if they did it would be condemned as "out of date now" by Ms de Piero.
/// Ms de Piero said that when the truth about her photos emerged, Harriet Harman – who was the women and equalities minister at the time – provided her with ‘amazing’ support. ///
/// She told her: ‘Don’t worry, it’s absolutely fine Gloria, we wouldn’t judge you for that,’ and urged her not to ‘change’ or get ‘buttoned up’. ///
How very understanding of you Harriet, can you imagine what she would have said if this had been a female Tory minister?

Do you think de Pieros past disqualifies her from understanding the concerns of women then?
Interesting choice of phrases from Harriet in the quote though - to tell a one-time topless model not to "button up". Sounds almost Freudian :)

If she were a Tory minister, Harriet Harman may well have been less supportive, becasue she is a Labour minister.
That's how politics work.
You support your fellow MPs whilst attacking the opposition.
However, this is all supposition. We don't know how Harriet would have reacted.
With regard to whether Ms Piero is the right person to be Labour's spokesperson for women - I don't think so. Posing topless twenty five years ago is a sure sign that she is unfit for any position of influence or trust.
Indeed, she should not be allowed to walk the streets in daylight for dear of corrup...
Etc etc etc.

/// Nothing wrong with being a topless model. Do you think there is? ///
Well I don't know about you, but I think at only 15 then yes there is.
Also isn't it illegal?
But getting back to adult topless models, I only entered this story because of the hypocrisy of it all.
Has it not been suggested that 'top shelf lads mags' should be removed, and 'page three' of the Sun should be discontinued, all by women's groups who state that such things reduce women to "SEX OBJECTS".

Ee oop, I've just noticed she were born in t' Bradford.
And "once came ahead of Kate Moss in FHM's list of the Sexiest Women In The World"
Well, I think she sounds fascinating, and an ideal person to be a spokes ...
Oh, god, I can't do that "spokesperson" word.
If I am a human, and a woman, why can't I also be a chairman and a spokesman?
Before we know it, we'll have to call ourselves huperson, and woperson.
I can feel a thread coming on!
