BLIMEY! Mike Bentley has really got it in for the female victims of paedophile rape in last Saturday's Soundoff column.

In case any men were confused by the tone of his article, sex with the under 16s is a criminal offence, no one under 16 can legally consent.

Perhaps for next week's column Mike could do 'Cyclists maimed by uninsured, speeding motorists are draining the NHS and laughing as they collect their disabled benefits' or 'Homeless widows and kids of soldiers killed in Gulf War are being housed and fed at public expense' or maybe 'Widowers of breast cancer victims are in the money as life insurance companies pay off their mortgages, pushing up all premiums'.
