Also worth noting perhaps is that the same legislation that equalised the age of consent for homosexual men criminalised teachers who engaged in "sexual activity", which could be something so minor as kissing, with pupils age 16 or 17.

As a member of parliament, his day-to-day work consists of making laws, which he expects to be obeyed. His disagreement with His Lordship's "legalism" relates to issues of sexual morality. During the last period in which his own party held office, it was quite enthusiastic about legislating extra "Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365402242052425654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-80062949069126786282015-03-22T15:39:31.432+00:002015-03-22T15:39:31.432+00:00
