Yup people are overreacting a bit in here in my opinion. There is a big difference between 10 and 14 though...
Edit:
“Where both partners are aged 10 or over, but under 14, a consenting sexual act should not be an offence. As the age of consent is arbitrary, we propose an overlap of two years on either side of 14."
The second part I don't understand though. When they say a two year overlap does that mean they think it's okay a 10 year old and 16 year old have sex? That's someone in 5th grade and someone who can legally drive a car.
I read that as both being under 14 years old the way it is written. It's a weirdly phrased sentence.
