German Policeman Eats
Friend
(They changed it later to German Policeman in ‘Cannibal’ Case, which isn’t at all amusing. I
don’t know why they had to change it; heaven knows we need a bit of amusement
occasionally in the news headlines.)
Anyway, the story has it that a German policeman and a ‘friend’
he met through the internet had a shared predilection for sex-with-torture. One
of them ended up dead, and the other ate some bits of him.
Is that a problem, as long as they were both consenting
adults?

A more mundane story concerned the fact that the French are
considering making it illegal to pay for sex, and the proposed fines for so
doing are pretty substantial.
Well, I entertain the most fervent distaste for prostitution
because of my personal views on the purpose and value of sex, but they’re just
my business. In practical terms, I believe prostitution should be legalised
because my only practical objection is that prostitutes don’t pay tax. If they
did, the extra money could be used to increase state pensions and enable a few
more elderly people to both eat and keep warm in the winter.
