Learning from Nicola's knockers

Coughlan's perfect breasts comeback offers us a real example of body positivity in action...

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to love your body?

I don’t mean in a mantras at sunrise, tell yourself you’re beautiful until you believe it, way. I mean in a real, tangible, grateful for your limbs way. What would it feel like to have such an unshakable sense of self-worth, to unapologetically step out into the world each day and, to paraphrase Rage Against The Machine, say “fuck you, I won’t look how you tell me”?

Earlier this week, I’m not sure I’d have even imagined such a situation could exist. But then, just when it looked like June’s every prized headline and camera moment would go to a bloviating bloke of one sort or another, along came Nicola Coughlan with her rapier wit and perfect breasts to show us all what a better world could look like.
