FarnboroughBoy11:
Why are the words ‘‘innocent coffee’’ in commas
.The Philpot legal precedent is exactly what I said.That’s my answer and all the figures you need for my view related to the ‘youngest’ on the subject are contained within that case.If you can’t work out what that means that’s not my fault.
Ok so 15 then… (I don’t know why you beat around the bush and don’t just say it) maybe a part of you does in fact think its wrong.
And innocent was in commas because it’s not innocent at all, you would be taking a child out on a date with the intentions or having a ■■■■■■ relationship with her as soon as she turns 16 just because thats the law.
Like I said before if the age of consent was reduced to 14 I have no doubt that you and your mates and Philpot would take fully advantage of it.
It’s sick mate.

Which part of 16 is about right don’t you understand and that just actually means from that age ‘she’ can do whatever ‘she’ wants.In my case,unlike the Philpot one,if I’d been that lucky,I’d also have wanted to marry her before starting any family which would have meant waiting until she was at least 18.Because there’s no way that many parents would be likely to give permission,for any middle aged bloke,to marry their under 18 daughter which is likely to cause a problem if the girl wants to start a family as soon as possible which probably explains all the timing in the Phiplot case.However in this environment probably starting any reasonably large age gap relationship even close to that example is now likely to be untenable anyway.
However it’s not sick because he loves her and she loves him,they are married and have been since she was 17.They also have a family and no laws were broken.That’s all about freedom.Having said that my issues are more about the one concerning single blokes of whatever age who’ve never had the chance to have a wife and family losing out to married/divorced ones.Which makes the idea of anyone like me defending him even more ironic but what it does prove is that my argument is just about the freedom to love within the law nothing more.
Maybe it might help if I balance my view of the Philpot case with some reservations which I’ve got concerning the Jeremy Forrest one.
It would be interesting to get some answers as to why he doesn’t seem to have told Megan Stammers to have waited until his marriage had been officialy ended by divorce.If he really thought that she loved him and if he loved her then the wait wouldn’t have mattered and would have beeen a legal requirement for him to have re married Megan Stammers at the age of 16-18 or at any age in the future anyway.
In which case why the need to run to France.
What happened while they were in France.
Was their hotel accomodation all booked as single seperate rooms.
Depending on the answers to those questions.Was there a ■■■■■■ motive for the trip to France to engage a 15 year old British girl, subject to British law concerning the age of consent,in a ■■■■■■ relationship under French laws concerning the age of consent which seem to be different/lower than British ones. 
That’s grooming not what Joe Philpot did. 
I never did like teachers especially married ones who go after single girls.Even more especially if they intend on having a ■■■■■■ relationship with a girl who’s under the age of consent.

As for your own age gap hang ups.Every year older a girl is before having her family is a year less that her family get to know and have her around.While as for a bloke being as close in age as possible to his wife that puts the marriage into the likely zone where it’s as likely that the bloke will end up a widower as his wife end up a widow.Trust me I’ve seen it and that’s one of the reason why my dad advised me to go for a younger girl and stop worrying about losing out with one of my own age to an older bloke.It’s a bit like the bloke being put in the lifeboat of a fast sinking ship first and then having to watch his wife go down with the ship instead of him.
