Can I suggest that by making prostitution legal this would do away with all the abuse those who trade their bodies receive from the pimps.

Also the prostitutes could be medically checked regularly.

Why is it living in the 21st century this island has Victorian attitudes on such delicate situations? Prostitution has been with us since Roman times.

The same with drugs. Pushers who ply their evil trade would be no more if we English opened our eyes to drugs. I believe they are here to stay, so why not make it safe for those who rely on them?

I read in another recent story that teenagers who are trying to obtain recreation by opening a youth club have been opposed by residents.

For goodness sake not all teenagers are mindless thugs (I am a father to one). Everyone deserves a chance, including tomorrow's adults.
