Fanatics' fury at Muslim Playgirl

Sila Sahin, a star of German soap Good Times, Bad Times, has caused a storm by posing naked for Playboy. Islamic fanatics have posted threatening messages and called the 25 year old Sila a ‘Western Slut’ and said she must pay for this. Her conservative Turkish parents have reacted with abhorrence and her mother has cut of all contact. Sia said The Playboy shoot was a total act of liberation. She wants to say with these pictures that girls don’t have to live according to the rules imposed upon them.

Reaction:

I think what she wants to say with these pictures is very brave, but I do not think this is the right way to communicate this message. Everybody should live the way they want to live and if you want to pose for The Playboy, that is fine to me. I hope that people won’t hurt her, because everybody should be free in their choices of life.

Kate Middleton dreams she is a naked bride

The day of the Royal Wedding is coming soon and a Royal source said that Royal bride Kate Middleton has the last-minute jitters and just wants the day to arrive. Her nerves have manifested in an interesting way: she has had a nightmare in which she finds herself in front of the wedding congregation and then becomes suddenly aware she is completely naked. However, Kate is not the only one who is nervous. Everybody wants to let this be a perfect day and do their best for the Royal wedding.

Reaction:

I think Kate’s nightmare is hilarious! Can you imagine it? A Royal wedding in which the bride is naked? For me, this also means that Kate is just a normal person. I think all women who are going to marry someone are going mad! In this case, the whole world is watching her, so I can imagine the pressure that’s on her.

Schools 'refusing to teach yob pupils' after attacks on staff

Staff walked out of Darwen Vale High School in Lancashire over pupil indiscipline. They refused to teach 16 troublemakers after they were allowed to remain in lessons despite brandishing knives, attacking teachers and fellow pupils and making malicious allegations.

For permanent exclusion schools have to follow a procedure, but a lot of pupils are allowed to remain in lessons after a couple of weeks. The National Union of Teachers shows that there are around 70 teachers claiming that they failed to receive support from senior staff after being insulted and shoved by children. The Government is now proposing to ban panels from reinstating pupils who have been permanently barred from school as part of a fresh crackdown on indiscipline.

Reaction:

For permanent exclusion students have to go really far. So I think it is irresponsible to let them remain in lessons. If a student has attacked me and he or she is allowed to remain my lessons, I would be afraid that he would do it again, because he will think he can do what he want without any consequences.

Gay couple 'kicked out of London pub for kissing'

When Jonathan Williams and James Bull kissed during their first date at the John Snow pub in Soho, central London, they were asked to leave. A woman, who said she was the landlady, told the pair that they were being obscene. Mr Bull rang the police when they got home and Mr Williams took to Twitter to protest at the treatment they had received. His tweet provoked a storm of protest and 456 supporters have planned a ‘ kiss in’ at the pub.

Reaction:

I think it is ridiculous to send two men kissing away, because if it were a man and a woman kissing it would not have been a problem at all. People should be threatened the same way. So it should not matter if you are gay or not. I really like the fact that so many people supported these two men on Twitter. I think that their ‘ kiss in’ at the pub can be a way to show people that there is nothing wrong with gay people and that they want to be treated the same way as others.
