Banning Knives From TV
THE Sun and Star both feature the same picture of a blonde child holding up a huge meat cleaver.
Is it Gordon Ramsay’s daughter staring in her new yoof cookery show? Not yet.
This is Jenni Woodcock, 17 (Star), who managed to go into a shop and buy a kitchen utensil.
It is illegal for under-18s to buy knives, and the Sun, which – get this – bills Woodcock at 16 (did she show her ID to the papers), is outraged that a minor should get one.
It’s just awful.
Anorak wonders how long it is before knives are banned from appearing on TV and other media lest under-18s get the wrong idea.
Look out for Gordon Brown telling us that from now in we should lick our plates clean…
Note: TV’s Naomi Cleaver is to hereon known as Naomi Chop-Stick
