Shameful pursuit
Comments from Pete Martin on the Scottish Government’s consultation on the licensing of sexual entertainment (Perspective, 3 July) are particularly disturbing in a day when internet pornography is fuelling the fires of sexual abuse.

It is amazing that in a modern society there is not universal opposition to such a demeaning form of “entertainment”.
