I'M sure we can all agree there are many problems facing our society these days. From crime, drugs, global warming, traffic congestion and terrorism there are many problems to exercise the minds and talents of our leaders and politicians.

It's nice to know that one party seems to have its finger firmly on the pulse of public opinion. I am talking about the decision of the Liberal Democrats spring conference to adopt a policy allowing 16-year-old children to access explicit pornography. This decision was rightly condemned by church groups and the NSPCC and I believe it endangers vulnerable children. Come on Lib Dems, if you want to be treated as a serious party drop this ridiculous and dangerous policy idea.
