1. Legalise brothels, thus taking it off the streets, tax revenue for the treasury and have them based in non residential areas. 2 Legalise all drugs, taking out the drug lords and the criminal fraternity, reducing prostitution and burglary etc. 3. Return to restricted drinking hours, it worked in the past. Blair's image of a café culture would never work in this country. Let the ambulance service and police get back to their real jobs. |

Every cloud has a silver lining, PS! 1. Brothels are already legal. It is living off the immoral earnings which is not. 2. If we legalise all drugs, how are the addicts going to pay for them, or are you suggesting they are given them by the taxpayer? Otherwise the addicts will still be shoplifting to order or burgling houses to pay for the stuff at the chemist. Would it mean I could get better pain killers than paracetamol without a script, coz there's times I need a few mg of codeine when the headache is really bad or my back pain is bad - that would be an advantage. 3. Can't understand how you can call for 1 and 3 at the same time? Liberalise drugs, legalise them, then clamp down on alcohol, another drug. Why not liberalise that, too and do away with all the antiquated licencing laws. Let people buy drink any time they like, that is, when an establishment is open and willing to sell it. The way you post suggests the police and ambulance staff won't have a problem with all the stoned addicts that will be around following implementation of 1 above. I'd rather scrap the Sunday shopping laws, myself. What's all this 10am to 4pm stuff on Sundays. Liberate Sundays, they shouldn't be held captive. |

As far as supplying drug addicts with drugs, the cost would be cheaper than the cost of emergency services that have to scrape drunks and drug addicts off pavements who have imbibed in some very dodgy drugs on sale on the street that are cut with all sorts of nasty substances. At first you would have a rush to get drugs on script but human nature being what it is as soon as something is legal it becomes less attractive. As far as combatting the drug problem, even the police will tell you that they cannot even scratch the surface of stopping the drug trade. With alcohol consumption people can drink 24 hrs a day in their own home or that of like minded friends, so what is the problem with restricting licensed premises, at least one can walk home after a late dinner without falling over pissed out youths and scantily clad girls being sick and peeing all over the place. As far as prostitution being legal, that is true but of course nobody is going to give their favours away for nothing, you are talking about free sex, entirely different. Prostitution is a business so let's acknowledge that and treat it like any other business. My points may not be to everyones' taste but let's face it the society we have now isn't working, is it? How do you suggest we resolve the drug problem? |

I can accept that ONLY under one condition. Turning up for work "under the influence" is grounds for immediate dismissal. I have worked on very dangerous machinery alongside druggies and it is no fun having to work and think for two people. All The Best |

Why, do you have a problem with having sex in a brothel or would you rather it enacted up an alleyway against a wall? Wouldn't you rather have 'clean' drugs supplied to addicts or have you a plan to solve the problem that nobody has thought of? Do you and your good lady wife enjoy drinking at 2 or 3am in a boozer or would you rather not be in your own home or that of friends to enjoy a sociable evening? |

I totally agree but that should also apply to alcoholics. |

Well, I have never needed to pay for sex. I would much rather the reasons for people becoming addicts are addressed. In case you hadn't noticed 24 hour licencing never happened in practice. The is nowhere where I live with licence past 01.00 hours and even those are only on Friday and Saturday. I am usually asleep at home by 22.00 hours. |

Would agree to legal brothels but wary of heading down the wrong path. http://metro.co.uk/2016/09/18/lib-dem-politician-says-schools-should-suggest-prostitution-as-a-career-6135362/ Lib Dem politician says schools should suggest prostitution as a career. No one in their right mind would want that would they? I have no objection to the rest of your plan. |

Personally, and I do mean personally I would like to see that Lib Dem politician subject to a police investigation. |

As many of the prostitutes who work in a ''Brothel'' and are addicted to drugs to wipe out their memory of what they actually do for a living..e.g. The Acid queen in Amsterdam..the only thing they have to comply to are the monthly STD checks.. |

the industrial plant for which I now provide the IT support as of last week have an "independent" laboratory in the nearby town on 24/7 standby; the contract of employment states categorically you agree your being employed and staying employed are both conditional on your consent to to undergo a blood test if a manager requires it; refusal means instant dismissal, failure means you're going to rehab and if you say no, no, no you're on skid row, son. One look at what the production line will do to any bits of your body you drunkenly or druggedly stick in its way should leave all but the most meth-headed in no doubt why. |

We are not liberal enough for practical solutions, plus we must always reserve the right to wag the finger at junkies of every type. |
