Guardian readers may have missed the Sun's "Save Our Jugs" campaign to allow chesty barmaids to keep the right to wear low-cut tops. The Sun will be claiming victory today after the EU parliament voted to leave it to member states to legislate on whether employers would be made responsible for their workers' exposure to sunlight. MEPs thereby conceded that barmaids could, if they chose, wear low-cut tops, even in the beer garden.
