Petition calls for Daily Mail to apologise to 'beautiful women' at Aintree
A petition has been set up calling for the Daily Mail to apologise for 'victimising' race going ladies at the Grand National festival.
A petition has been set up calling for the Daily Mail to apologise for 'victimising' race going ladies at the Grand National festival.
The paper has been slammed after criticising for what's being described as an attack on women at the event - and for photographs showing people in unflattering camera angles.
So far over 6'500 people have signed the petition asking for the paper to apologise.
It read:
"It is heartbreaking to realise that a national newspaper is so widely making bulling and body shaming tolerable and allowed."
"You have mocked the ladies of Liverpool for years, addressing their outfits, which in my opinion look flattering, and your comments about the, "efforts to smarten up seem to have mixed results" are unbelievable and unnecessary. Who are you to judge and comment? As a nation we should be proud of the Grand National, instead of so negatively targeting others.
17 year old Kinga Gorbenko from Huyton started the petition.
She said:
"I thought it was disrispectful, judgemental, I didn't appreciate the article at all. You should take photos of ladies being beautiful instead of taking photos of their underwear which isn't acceptable at all."
"I was outraged, this has been going on for years. I thought they've crossed a line this year"
