But rather than stop, they need to modernise by showing some fanny too.

If a woman says "It's my choice to get my norks out for page three"
isn't it sort of anti feminist to say "No you're banned from doing that, norks should be covered up!"
On the flip side if a campaign by muzzas to ban page three because women who get their norks out are evil and wrong the feminists would probably be saying "How dare you tell a women she can't show something as natural as norks!"

It's a good way to solve the NEET issue.
Leave them all as gibbering vegetables as a result of police brutality, shift them over to ATOS for assessment, when they've been through the arguments over being unfit for work, they'll be in their thirties and living under bridge.

I had no idea about what I wanted to do and ended up on an apprenticeship at Newcastle Uni working in the network department, doing stuff like fault finding, fibre optic cabling, etc. When that ended after 4 years I applied here, a software company in Newcastle and have been here since

We had four guys who didn't fall into that category.
One was a sixty year old rock musician, who always wore a denim patch jacket and a single ear hoop.
The other was a forty year old punk who had never had a job in his life, done way too many drugs over the years and didn't know how to blink.
The other was a classically trained pianist who was hugely interested in the production and recording side of things.
Finally there was a signed drum and bass artist, who was fed up of paying engineers and wanted to learn how to do it himself.
