One of the principles of the MoD is to defend Britain's interests.
And you would think one of those interests is the right of Our Boys serving in Afghanistan and Iraq to look at Page 3, a Great British institution.
But no. MoD bores have decided to ban Our Boys from looking a Page 3, despite the fact it helps to boost morale.
Page 3 is a Great British icon, like the Mini, the Spitfire, the Routemaster, cheddar cheese, real ale, Sherlock Holmes, chicken tikka misala, the Sutton Hoo helmet, cricket, Morris Dancing, the Spitfire, Pride and Prejudice, the Archers, Big Ben, the Queen, the Angel of the North, Winnie the Pooh, the V-sign, the red telephone box, Monty Python, Sgt Pepper, the Thames, the FA Cup and the Mini Skirt.
That's why, in the spirit of democracy, a group of Page 3 Girls staged a protest outside Whitehall to get this ban lifted!

PAGE 3 girls yesterday launched a full frontal attack on Ministry of Defence killjoys — after they banned troops from looking at our beauties online.
Our girls staged a protest at the MoD’s HQ in Whitehall after bureaucrats ruled that admiring their bazookas on Page3.com was “inappropriate” for Our Boys.
Home front ... girls' MoD protest outside Whitehall yesterday
The bombshell means 10,000 soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, plus 25,000 sailors and airmen, are barred from seeing the site — even on their own private laptops.
Yesterday, cars and even a van of police honked their horns in support as Ruth, Becky, Nikkala and Peta held up banners and chanted “Free Page 3”.
Morale boost ... with British troops
The Sun is urging Defence Secretary John Hutton to intervene.
We have been bombarded with complaints from soldiers and sailors since MoD internet servers began blocking Page3.com.
A Royal Navy chief petty officer said: “The fun police have struck again — it’s maddening.
“Being able to relax and look at Page 3 is good for morale. It helps us do our job, not hinder us.”
The MoD insisted: “Adult content has nothing to do with our core business of defence.”

Who cheered the troops in Afghanistan
WHAT we most enjoy about being Page 3 girls is getting the chance to boost our brave troops’ morale.
That’s why five of us flew out to Afghanistan last year to see them.
So for people who sit in front of comfy desks in Whitehall to decide that it’s inappropriate is really unfair.
None of us wants to offend anyone — especially not our hard-working servicewomen.
But with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and other trouble all over the globe, surely the MoD have better things to worry about.
