Is prostitution legal over there on your side of the pond? From the looks of that article it seems to be a legal enterprise.
No... it's advertised by MSM that it's against the law, but recently it's become 'tolerated'
Legally, it's okay within certain stated boundaries. No kerb-crawling or pimping.
Edit: It's generally perceived as illegal.
(Wikipedia)
'In England and Wales, it is an offence to pay for sex with a prostitute who has been
"subjected to force" and this is a strict liability offence (clients can be prosecuted even
if they did not know the prostitute was forced)...'
I think it's hoped that prostitution assists in keeping certain aspects of crime down and
let's be honest, it's a 'guy-thing' so some the old bastards in Parliament tend to see the
occupation as belonging in the realms of working-class, twenty-something women who
do it for a bit of extra money.
Of course in the real world, this involves young English boys and girls picked up at Kings
Cross Railway station, poverty-fleeing immigrants 'acquired' from overseas and the regular
company of women who have fallen through the safety net of Britain's welfare system.
It's not like the movies!
