I thought i would post this article i found in a local paper for your amusement/amazment
People tempted to use a proposed sex shop in Stafford should go to church instead, a local councillor said yesterday.
Legislation passed in 1995 allows licensed adult shops in the town and planning permission may not even be needed for the proposed store at Gaol Mews.
A 28-day public consultation notice is displayed in the window of the former Bluechip recording studio at the Gaol Road premises near the town centre.
But outraged common ward councillor Iris Moseley, believes ?weak ?willed? people should swap the ?blue? for the pew.
Miss Moseley also says that x-rated material encourages people to carry out serious crimes and that children are at risk of coming into contact with pornography if the shop opens.
She said ?I am very worried.When you read about what happens on the internet, especially with young people, it is tragic. I do not agree with it.
It encourages people who are a little weak to go further. If there is no outlet, they can?t get anything.?
She added ?Not everybody can be strong willed and if there were no places like this there would not be so many murders and rapes. People read these things then want to act them out.?
Miss Moseley is also worried that inmates released from the prison would make the shop their first port of call and would be encouraged to re-offend.
She added ?Obviously we need to go into it further to see what sort of things they intend to sell, and it wouldn?t be fair to completely dismiss it until l then.
But i want to keep Stafford clean, honest and reasonably safe from the threat of sexual attacks. If people want something to do they should go to church.?
