How Disappointing!

.
The lovely BBC presenter Sian Williams has been fighting HM Revenue and Customs over her £4,500 annual bill for clothes, dry-cleaning and hairdressing even though she needs to look smart when presenting the news.

Though Miss Williams is most demonstrably smart, she failed to convince a tax tribunal judge that she needs to spend this amount, ‘wholly, exclusively and necessarily in the performance of the employment duties’, and so lost her claim for a £1,800 tax deduction.

As part of her claim, Miss Williams said that she would be happy to ready the news naked. However, a spokesman later said, ‘There is no danger of her actually presenting naked.’

What a disappointment!

    We WANT to watch the BBC News read by naked women! Right, guys?

    Sian Williams in her tax return for 2004/5 argued "she would be prepared to read the news without clothes and only wears the clothes because her employer requires it".

    Excellent! That's all the encouragement we need.

    There is already an internet Naked News website run out of Canada

    So come on Britain - let's go one better than the Canadians and keep the British end up by broadcasting BBC TV news with naked newsreaders and if Sian wants to be the first - we say LET HER!
