    Leon Brittan

    On reflection, it's a poorly argued point and I'll withdraw it. A 14 year old boy cannot give "consent", whether I put the term in brackets or otherwise. Any scenario where someone like Brittan has sex with a 14 year old male or female is rape, quite clearly.

      I don't think any subject is inherently unfunny.
      Comedy is subjective. Insinuating, even in the spirit of high jinx, that somebody else would have paedophile impulses on a thread about paedophilia is not really appropriate. I don't think it's very funny either on any level above schoolground humour.

        Well, insinuating someone is four years old isn't very appropriate, either.

        If you keep picking on me I'm calling Childline.

        It's all about context, and the "nonce" joke was a reply to Stumpy's joke (which also insinuated someone needed locking up) in light of his slight paranoia on the tattoo thread that I had him down as a sex offender.

        Of course I don't think either of you have any impulses that way, but I so wish you'd stop policing my posts (and only mine, in this case) in such a pompous way.

        Neither was a joke "about" paedophilia, the first was about misunderstanding, and the second was about your pomposity and my supposed childishness.

        Lighten up, as people say, (annoyingly).

        I'm disappointed no-one got my joke "about" cannibalism in the Serbian mafia, another thing I find hilarious.

          I made it a point to specify that I was not "policing: your post, MsD. In fact, I made it a point to note that I was simply offering an observation to a situation that might create misunderstandings. I didn't police or even criticise. Much as it might shock you, it was not about you.

          Isn't it the number for Society for Protection of Elderly you want, should I continue to pick on you?

            I'm 55, love. Hardly "elderly" - and in fine health :-)

            It is "about me", as you didn't pick up any of the other posters on here who'd made jokes one could find "inappropriate". However you phrased it, it was a criticism, and the "elderly" is yet another personal dig, of the sort I don't make at you; I can start, if you like.

              I'm enjoying this Saga...

              Anyway, back to Leon and co. Any more rumors on who the Chequers Strangler is?

                This thread is confusing. Is Brittan allowed to play football or not, and which club does he play for?

                  Swansea City. There's an angry mob gathering outside his house as we speak.

                                      There does seem to be a distinction drawn between consent and non-consent, though consenting sex with an under 16 is unlawful.

                                      Offences against children under 16 (sections 9 - 13)

                                      The 2003 Act provides that the age of consent is 16. Sections 9-13 clarify that any sexual activity involving consenting children under 16 is unlawful.

                                                Think it's a good idea to find one similar of a gigantic spider and put it up here?

                                                    Believe it or not, but Brittan is implicated in it.
