Face The Fact

David Cameron's daughter might not have been left behind in the pub if she had not had a pixilated face that made her difficult to identify.

Seriously, why do we do this? And why do we deny teenagers their surnames when interviewing them or reporting their expression of their views?

If their views are worth reporting at all, and sometimes they are, then they are worth reporting as those of human beings with full personal identities, and denying the surname of somebody who has one is a denial of that.

As is denying anybody's face. It seems to say that the subject is not really a person at all. Fundamentally and ultimately, this is a pro-life issue.
