There are statutes of limitations, different ages of consent and no prosecutions in France, Italy, Germany, Scandinavia, Spain, Portugal. Indeed one national paper at the time of my conviction ran an article about how my "crimes" would not have been crimes in Europe.

Do we Brits REALLY want this madness? The insanity of the DLT/Coronation Street and other trials? The expense? The unfairness? Do MOST Brits like the exposure type TV programmes? Are we that different to the Italians, French, Spanish?

If we are, let's have it confirmed. If not, let's have it changed.[/quote]
