John Peel
Moral conservative activist
Peel was a suppoter of Family and Youth Concern. According to an obituary in the Telegraph:
- In the 1980s, as sponsor of the Responsible Society, Peel accused two government departments - Education, and Health and Social Security - of encouraging girls under 16 to have sexual intercourse.
""Young girls," he wrote in a booklet, "are the victims of exploitation by unscrupulous adults, by misleading information in popular teenage magazines; by pernicious theories from some 'trendy' experts; all leading to the glorification of sex for physical satisfaction alone." He also had strong reservations about research on human embryos.[1]
