Round and round we go. Driving sex underground.

Just reading the articles or prostitution. First of all where we are going to take the driving licenses off the punters kerb crawling and then where they move on to allowing small brothels.

My first question is why do they feel they have to revisit this old chestnut? Things have been quite in the news lately with nobody being murdered. All it does is move the trade underground where it becomes dangerous for the women as punters must hide their identity from the man. The talk about allowing brothels is all a load of rubbish. Permission will need to be sought from the local council who will generally refuse it as they do some sex shops to force them to move to another area. Therefore the end result for most areas will be to drive the trade underground where the women can have less protection.

All this moralistic policy making is to make sure some of our people don't get upset about people selling their bodies. Well, I sell mine every day to earn a crust. Unfortunately, except for people pulling parts they shouldn't I spend all day talking and sitting on my bum. And, lets not forget because I started early, I had a paper round, that makes it Abuse of children. Some people sell their bodies to put nuts on wheels, some for manual labour, others for sex. They just do other things for the money. Not my taste but probably because I couldn't live from what my tired old body could make.

Jeez. I can even understand the abuse and child abuse part. Making something illegal ups the price and gangs can get involved and make some money. Making it legal means that the women don't need protection so can be open and that should control the number of children and those that are abused in the game.

Not much different with drugs, guns, dog fights etc. Illegal means underground market. As the prohibition proved.

A typical Government screw up. Based on their morals and the believe that making something illegal stops it. Will they ever learn?
