NEVER in my wildest dreams did I expect respectable and caring family men like our Prime Minister and our local MP Mr Lewis to support and vote for 16-year-old boys to participate in what - at best - can only be described as an unnatural sex act.
It would be completely spurious for them to make the excuse of equality between homosexuals and heterosexuals, since it is a criminal offence under British law for men and women to carry out this act, whether consenting or not. Maybe our so-called "people's representatives" are proposing to change this law also?
I, for one, will remember this vote of no confidence in the British family when these politicians want to be re-elected.
S. I. MADERS,
Turnbull Avenue, Prestwich.
