I FIND it extraordinary that the Government is proposing to criminalise paying for sex. All the evidence we have from The Netherlands, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and Nevada points to the fact that the decriminalisation of prostitution is for the good: safe sex practices, no pimps, no drug culture, the elimination of street prostitution.
David Cameron often says that it is time that we had an "adult debate" about immigration. I would suggest that we also need an adult debate about sex.
