Re: The brothels operating within view of the Police
 

Where im living in Swansea theres a problem with prostitutes on the street corner. A number of us between 2 streets have asked police to move them on and nothing happens but ive heard off the record kind of thing the reason police let them operate is because they get information as to who deals drugs in the area.

With modern day prostitutes (particularly at the lower end of the market), drugs and prostitution often go hand in hand.

It's a vicious circle as they often say that they need drugs to be able to do it and that they do it to feed their drug habit. It's when those who use them intravenously share needles and have unprotected sex that the real problems begin...

Personally the daddy I wouldn't have a problem with one opening next door to me though given the size of our houses it would be a very small one and we already have two ladies plying their trade on our road anyway. Legal approved brothels would drastically improve the circumstances of the women and men working in the sex industry (yes males prostitute as well as women) and bringing the safety of legalising this sector of the sex industry shouldn't be impeded by nimbyism which does too much damage in this country.

I suppose we could ask Holland and Germany how it works for them?

The key to success lies in proper regulation, with strict licensing requirements and stiff penalties in place for pimps who force women to ply their trade on the streets, and with 'rehabs' for women who are prostituting themselves unlawfully.

There must be a well thought out regulatory environment and good enforcement in order for this to succeed, but with determination, I am sure our government could get this to work.

But will they even try? I doubt it.

Legalising brothels doesn't go down well with the Tory old dears at coffee mornings. However whatever politicians get up in their London flats away from the family, is a separate issue.... They need to put bromide in the House of commons tea and give them some real work to do.

Exactly, MP's are so hypocritical.

Examples include passing anti drugs laws, yet traces of cocaine have been found in their toilets, voting against gay equality laws, when it later transpired that some were gay themselves, bringing in the smoking ban, yet their bar is exempt ect.

Excuse me OB but please name any Government in the last 50 - 100yrs or more that has fulfilled this basic requirement.

I agree, I suspect that when voting, the electorate don't so much vote for a party, but for the least worse option!

None..

Re: The brothels operating within view of the Police
 

Yes MrK because only tory politicians use the services of prostitutes all parties are as guilty and none of them have the moral high ground on this issue sadly none of the parties have the common sense on this issue either.

I said 'politicians', not Tory politicians.
