White Chapel Jack must be polishing his collection and giggling madly to himself.

I have no problem with prostitutes being outside my house. It's more convenient.

Easy access to prostitute's in London. In other news Britney speers is considering moving to London for Career change.
/That will show up little sister for getting knocked up by producer and stealing her Batshiate Crazy press.

heh, bunch of ultra prudes forcing girls back out onto the streets to be preyed upon by pimps and drug dealers. having them out on the street also alows Law to get their cut so much easier.

if it was done right there would be some sort of registry for the ladies to keep track of the Johns and the johns and Medical to keep track of the ladies to make certain that services offered are cleanly provided, and service purchasers pay, play nice, be clean. Oh just like a real business. Hmm.

Lynne Featherstone, the Liberal Democrat equalities spokeswoman, said: "It is a very good thing that the government is looking at this, but there is a danger that it could drive prostitution underground. Any moves to try to eradicate the client side would have to be incredibly carefully handled. In an ideal world prostitution shouldn't exist, but we don't live in an ideal world." '

Where I live the whole rub and tug thing is actually above ground to a certain extent and it's a good thing. There are still brothels run by Tongs and Mobs and Triads and so on and so forth and the women who work their are effectively sex slaves but those are the exceptions and not the norm. Street meat and strolls still exist too but the kiddy strolls are largely gone and that's a good thing too.
