I congratulate the reporters involved in producing last night's programme, which I watched from start to finish and found revolting. One aspect that struck me was the sentencing. One individual who had downloaded thousands of images got a prison sentence of two and a half years. That should be quadrupled because there is no deterrent for these people. What is going on is savage and, as the programme reported, it is widespread here and throughout Europe. That is an aspect on we should have a debate.
