A sergeant major who secretly filmed teenage girls getting undressed on an Army course was starting a 12-month jail sentence last night.

An outrageous sentence, in my view.

Yeah, I mean, this has to be the first time in history that a solder has fancied 17-year-old girls. Never happened before. I bet the Romans are turning in their graves.

Hm. I wonder if there's a link between the aggression needed to defend a country and sex drive? Might this not be a good material for research at universities? (Or indeed, is this something that's already been known for decades, but never publicized?)

We've turned into a nation of smarmy-faced self-righteous twats. The shameful thing is this. It's us those political charlatans are pandering to for those precious votes that are keeping them in power.

I'll just add, there IS a book providing strong evidence that a link between aggressiveness and sex drive (at least in men) exists. It's called Human Aggression by eminent psychologist Anthony Storr. It's short, very well written and for the layman.

I recommend it to anyone interested in psychology or who simply loves to read.
