What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to to introduce and enforce measures that ensure that magazines and newspapers containing sexually graphic covers are not displayed at children’s eye-level or below or adjacent to children’s titles and comics and should be screen sleeved before being placed on the shelf.
What the petitioner did first
I wrote to supermarkets and asked them to move magazines to top shelf and conceal the photos on front cover behind other magazines. The only one which replied was Morrisson’s who refused my request until I went to a local newspaper which published a photo of me holding a magazine standing outside their shop. The other supermarkets did not respond.
Before writing to the supermarkets I asked the managers to move the offending material. They said they could not move it as they did not have the authority. They also said there was nothing wrong with such material.
