The UK Government should consider lowering the age of sexual consent to 15 a leading public health expert has said. Professor John Ashton, president of the Faculty of Public Health, says changing the law would 'draw a line in the sand' against sex at 14 or younger. He is right to say he believes society sends 'confused' signals about when sex is permitted and has called on a national debate on the issue. From those who bothered to comment Steve in London takes a firm stand saying, "We should be doing more to enforcing the existing age of consent rather than lowering it. If children (i.e. those aged 15 or under) are having sex then they should be punished. Schools should be doing more to educate our children in this respect. The chairman, The Rev Paul Flowers, a Methodist minister who oversaw the near-collapse of the Co-operative Bank has been caught buying and using illegal drugs including crystal meth, crack cocaine and ketamine.

This type of hypocracy is getting people fed up. One really good comment said, "Compulsory drug tests for MPs, Senior civil servants and Directors of PLCs, now that seems just. If its important to stamp it out in sport then its essential to stamp it out of those who manage the general public's assets."

He was awoken by the noise and went to investigate according to reports. Both Vince and neil believe the law is not backing the householder. Reactions included, "Prison with its cushy lifestyle is far too good for monsters like these. The sooner we end this failed experiment of softly softly treatment, the sooner we might get to grips with this lawlessness." Feckless families should be put through ‘two years of hell’ in boot camps to turn their lives around, a Tory crime tsar, Adam Simmonds, Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Northamptonshire. has urged........derelict Army bases could be used to house them while they were taught basic household skills, ordered to stop drinking and smoking, and given basic job training. However, comments to the newspaper article include "The Tory Government of the 1990s introduced boot camps for young offenders but research suggested they did not cut reoffending and were too costly........Neil and Vince reiterate their ideas that these 'offrenders' should be in jails on remote islands with a tough regime to sort them out
