Yes George was once a young man with urges, but he has a respectable career and a family.


Hypocrite once again. You are unvbelievable and not in a complomentary way.
As I understand it, being a prostitute is not a crime in England. However, pimping is illegal.

What?
He is only human, but I wouldn't sleep with a prostitute, so I am not a hypocrite.

But shouldn't both be illegal?
If pimping is illegal, prostitution should also be illegal

You are keen to make excuses for someone else who you happen to adore.
If they're claiming jsa, and prostituting on the side, it is my business as a tax payer.

Personally, I don't think so. I actually think we should legalise brothels in England so that there can be stricter safety conditions enforced on the conditions in which prostitutes work. But, you're entitled to your opinion and I do not wish to argue with anyone over this. After all, I myself will hopefully never be affected by these laws!

When you're young, you make mistakes.
He was probably pressured into it, but god forgives.

Do you understand the difference?? how much about the sex industry do you know?

Pimps control prosititutes, some but not all can be violent exploiters. That is why its illegal.

A prostitute should be allowed to use her own body and decide this for herself without having to seek your moral consent.

You really are unbelieveable, you must be a troll.
Pimps who abuse and force women into prostitution are criminals.
A woman who chooses to have sex with no strings attached in exchange for money by choice is not a criminal. I can't understand when one night stands are a norm nowadays but it gets all touchy when there's money involved and there's a person looking out for the other person. They aren't hurting anyone.

And you should read up on brothels OP. There was a BBC documentary on it where there was a madam talking about running a brothel in Soho. She ran it for about 8 years and it was known to the police but they left her alone purely because she was micromanaged on anything that came in. There was strictly no alcohol or drugs allowed. All girls had working contracts and were told to only work a certain number of hours. I see no harm in that.

Where's your evidence to prove they all claim JSA? If you're going to make ignorant remarks back them up.

I know enough about the criminal acts that comes with prostitution, such as human trafficking and drug use.

It is not older than farming.
Fact is prostitution and escorting as seen a as glamorous, but it is the opposite, so by criminalizing we can solve a lot of problems.


It is. Farming is only about 12000 years old. I would bet people sold sex before that.

I had never said anything about all, but they're some who do.
They can claim jsa and prostitute to feed their habit.

And I want evidence that can back this up. You do know escorts get money taken out of their wages which goes to tax right?

There was no economic backbone nor an industry for prostitution, before the currency was invented, hence trading and growing crops was an older profession

Yet your thread asks if prositutes are criminals. Clearly you do not know enough and have a similar level of ignorance as you displayed on your other thread.


PROSTITUTES ARE NOT CRIMINALS.

PROSTITUTION IS NOT ILLEGAL

IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU?
Surely this thread has been answered now.

Let's all move on

But that is if they only file their income to the tax man, but I am talking about prostitutes, street walkers.
