Er, like this. "You shouldn't have sex until you're old enough to understand it properly, and that means being at least 16. If someone aged 45 tries this with you - that's seriously illegal because it's unfair and dangerous to you. That person will go to jail. For your own safety you must tell me."

Fairly easy, really. I just think sending my own lovely kids to jail for responding to instincts they don't understand would be the wrong approach, not least because jails are awful places full of serious criminals.

If you think jail for normal, law-abiding and friendly but angst-ridden teens is the answer, well, I think you're wrong.


I'm finding it hard to keep a straight face. Are you on medication? Sorry, I have to ask, as you seem to be on a different planet.

No, of course not - your suggestion is ridiculous. I wonder if you're about to start the standard BNP rant about an Islamic text that describes how this sort of thing was acceptable in the middle-east 1,400 years ago. Well, it ain't acceptable any more, not here, and not anywhere.

Anyway, as you pointed out, there are other priorities for a councillor than debating this kind of nonsense so if it's OK, I'll leave this thread now. Thanks all the same.

All the best,
Darren

Just a quick point Darren, So on planet LibDem it is ok for an old man to have sex with a 16 year old but not a 15 year old, but 15 year olds to have sex together? forgive me for being thick but i am just a normal person.
