Hello all,

As some of you will know, there have been a few on-board debates about the No More Page 3 nomorepage3.org/ campaign, and whether or not Mumsnet should 'officially' join up as a supporter.

Previous threads here here here and here have been on balance supportive but not of a sufficient consensus for us to feel comfortable putting our full weight behind the cause.

With our most recent blog post on the issue, however, support seemed a bit more clear cut and there were lots of calls for us to back the campaign.

So we thought we'd canvass support more officially and widely. Do please use this thread to let us know whether you think we should sign up.

Obviously this is by no means a precise science, but in order to try to get a representative Mumsnet view, we will be placing a bit less weight on the views of those who have signed up to Mumsnet very recently.

Surely it's up to people whether or not they want to be page 3 models? I think a lot of the opponents know they would never have been selected and are jealous of the money of those who have.

Sorry badgeroncaffeine did you mean to be so funny? You don't seriously think we're jealous do you? Oh bless you.

I'm shocked badger thinks page 3 girls are making loads of money!

Please back the No More Page 3 campaign! Signed the petition ages ago. Amazing we even need to discuss this really. Thanks.

So glad to have discovered other people who wish to limit what children come into contact with in our newspapers. The Mumsnet Lads Mag petition from 2010 spoke about Lads Mags and newspapers. Something was done about lads mags however nothing was done about the contents and front pages of papers like the Sun / Star / Sport and their daily sexualised imagery that is on display and within reach of small children.

Yes, I'd like mn to support this campaign.

It would be great for mumsnet to support this campaign.

Page three has gone. so surely the campaign is defunct?
