Following the recent conviction of Steve Wright for the murder of 5 prostitutes in Ipswich debate has been prompted once more regarding the pros and cons of legalizing prostitution. Some would argue that it is an ugly truth that we cannot ignore or prevent and that a legal and regulated system would at least provide a safe, disease and drug free industry for people who chose to work in it.

I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on this, please feel free to leave me a comment or vote on the poll, all of your opinions are welcome.

So Nuclear Power; it is a subject filling up my email inbox at present. The Government want to build more power stations but their independent watchdog on sustainable development, the Sustainable Development Commission , say Nuclear power is not the answer to tackling climate change or providing security of supply. I would be really grateful to hear your views and thoughts on this subject, even if it's that you are just sick to the teeth of hearing about it. Are you doing your bit, like many people you know, but feel our economies, at home and abroad, do not yet support the cause? Please also feel free to vote on the adjacent poll and see the original post: Is Nuclear the Answer? for some more useful links and information.
