In this issue the Heaton gymslip riot features in our ‘Schoolgirl CP that Hit the Headlines’ section. For those visitors to this site who have been residing on Mars for the past 40 years, the schoolgirls at Heaton Comprehensive School, Newcastle-upon-Tyne rioted in 1976 when they were told by the headmaster that in future they would be strapped in the same way as the boys. Understandably, the majority of the unions backed the headmaster, with Mr Colin McInnes of the National Union of School Masters advocating that all 200 rioting schoolgirls (or 300 depending upon which newspaper you read) should be strapped. The only dissenting voice amongst the unions was the Association of Headmistresses, which took a rather more enlightened view over physical punishment of children and especially girls. Their memo to members has been reproduced in full. Of course, the politicians jumped aboard the bandwagon, with Mrs Renée Short MP asking the Education Minister specifically to provide statistics of how many times the cane and strap has been used on girls throughout the country. STOPP were obviously vociferous regarding the development but, as no girl had been actually strapped at that time, they whinged on about unrecorded physical punishments, even though this had no relevance to the incident. And of course Ian Gibson dibbed in with his four-pennyworth, as his (then) new book needed promoting! Visitors to this site will no doubt understand how delighted we were to discover that one of the three designated female strappers was a CP spanko perv! Unfortunately, we were unable to ascertain the names of the three strappers, but we did discover the names of several female teachers working at the school at that time and would like to think that at least one or more were amongst the headmaster’s appointed disciplinarians. Our money is on the one who taught the girls PE, purely on the basis that it is a necessary qualification of that particular job to be a complete sadist! Another retired schoolmistress based elsewhere in the North East states in a letter written in the same year that she was personally acquainted with one of the strappers. She tells how the Heaton mistress divulged that the use of the strap had “worked wonders among a hard core of loutish 13 to 16 year olds from a neighbouring council estate who were responsible for nine-tenths of the trouble.” She also gives a graphic description of how she gave two girls six-of-the-best for telling a prefect to “f*** off”, explaining how she deliberately prolonged their ordeal. Predictably, she states she would have preferred to have strapped their bare bottoms, rather than their hands!
And what other school CP stuff is included? There is the photo of the schoolgirls rampaging down the Victoria Embankment and protesting in Hyde Park in 1972 over having the wear school uniform and being subjected to the cane; the newspaper report regarding Sue Olds, who refused to return to Bacon’s comprehensive school in London’s docklands, as she had earned herself yet another caning; a spoof Alan Freeman style
Pick of the Pops countdown of the top twenty caning offences chart in a London school in the early 1970s; an article on the paddle and what purport to be genuine quotes from schoolgirl recipients in the USA; and the story of the school basketball coach who paddled most of her team.
Also reproduced is a recently republished 1956 Minnie the Minx comic strip where the original publishers have taken political correctness to absolutely ludicrous extremes and seen fit to censor the last frame where Minnie is slippered by her dad for playing truant. They have even used young Minnie’s trademark tam o’ shanter of all things to obscure the disciplinary deed! For all those gravely disappointed people who were dying to masturbate over what must be such a highly erotic pornographic image, we have included an uncensored sequence of Minnie receiving her just desserts from her dad!
This issue also features: ‘What the Butler Saw’, CP etiquette for nobs and toffs; stinging nettle punishments; Madonna being spanked and a report on the consequences when a Canadian DJ advocated, on air, that the star should be spanked after he played
Hanky Panky and one irate listener complained; more ‘Celebrity CP’; the insurance company that refused to pay out the damages awarded to a spankee in court; ‘CP Correspondence Through the Ages’; and our photo fantasy story, ‘Cat Burglar Caned’.
