More than half of complaints made about Love Island have been about smoking rather than scenes of a sexual nature, Ofcom has said. The reality dating show puts single men and women in a Majorcan villa together in order for them to find love and ultimately win a cash prize, and so far this series there have been several on-air instances of intimate behaviour between couples. But while a lot of the focus of the show - which airs after the watershed at 9pm daily - is about the islanders' love lives and bedroom antics, the frequent scenes of contestants smoking cigarettes has caught the attention of viewers.

Why should you read a book about Thomas Aquinas? This is the world’s most concise and easy-to-read book on the thought of Saint Thomas Aquinas. It’s only 50 pages, so be aware that it is not the most thorough treatment. A thorough treatment would be 5,000 pages, but you don’t have that much time. Nevertheless, if you read this short book and understand what it lays out, you will be in the top 0.001% of people in the world who have a working knowledge of the philosophy and theology of Saint Thomas Aquinas. You will have the knowledge to pass a class called “Thomas Aquinas 101,” and you will be ready to study Thomas Aquinas at the collegiate level. You will have the building blocks to move forward. At the end of this book, I make practical recommendations for taking it to the next level and recommend the next books to read.
