The Christmas edition of The Economist is out and one piece examines the day when sodomy between consenting males became legal in the UK (along with all those other little pleasures we have that had been made illegal in the 19th Century).

The Economist piece can be found here - https://www.economist.com/christmas-...hts-in-britain
