In her column in The Guardian's Weekend magazine, she said the police had no right to lecture to the News of the World how they should deal with the "Name and Shame" campaign on paedophiles. Parents should have the right to know the areas these sick creatures infest. Like the News of the World's brave editor Rebekah Wade, Julie Burchill has shown balls sadly lacking in the rest of the journalist fraternity. Here is an extract from Julie Burchill's article, which was published on 12 August 2000. 'In the recent controversy over the flaunting of paedophiles, it was interesting to see how the Government and its most virulent critics on both left and right combined to speak as one logical, male, middle-class voice to quell the fears (and, covertly, mock the efforts) of a supposedly illogical, mostly female, massively working-class mob. Suddenly, people who have shown nothing but contempt for and mistrust of the police were lecturing the News of the World and its readers to "let the police and professionals deal with it". Is this the same "inherently racist" police force that "bungled" the Stephen Lawrence case, or is it another lot? 'The fact is that the contempt shown to anxious parents is part and parcel of the contempt shown to the working class of this country over the past 20 years. For, make no mistake, it is working-class children who are the victims of abduction, assault by strangers and murder; the rest live their lives in a cradle-to-rave bubble of play-dates and people-movers. The lonely death of a raped child in England is in no way less "political" than that of an African child by starvation; both are about the triumph of brute force over beauty and innocence. A sensible socialist should have no more scruples about watching the execution of a child murderer than she should have about watching the execution of the heads of the world banks. Not only have the working classes been stripped of their rights at work and in unemployment, they are not even allowed to be fully informed in order to protect their one precious thing - their children - to the best of their abilities.'
