In the last post Jonathan Wiltshire, a supporter and donor, made some very illuminating observations about the M&S ‘Leading Ladies’ ad campaign. We were surprised to see Tracey Emin, the talentless ‘artist’ who’s Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy – what times we live in! – among the women in the ad. Here’s a photograph of Ms Emin ‘modelling’ a Fawcett Society T-shirt:

In Feminism: the ugly truth there’s a short chapter titled, ‘Are some feminists (e.g. Tracey Emin) a pain in the arts?’
Theresa May managed to look altogether more fetching in the T-shirt (link below), but why on earth was she – a Conservative politician (now Home Secretary) – promoting a T-shirt, the sales of which help fund an odious militant feminist campaigning organisation?

Someone else who looked decidedly more fetching than Tracey Emin in the T-shirt was a much-loved British celebrity – a man. You have to open this:

If our tracking down these immortal images isn’t worth a donation to our campaign to fund a fourth candidate for the 2015 general election – link below – we don’t know what is.
Thank you for your support.
