should red light zones be allowed?

[FatLazyContractor]

I think that prostitutes should be allowed to have children.

Or HMRC will run out of staff.....

How dare you forgot those young immigrants ?

Dunno what it's like now but back in 1990s brothels were permitted in Edinburgh when I contracted there.

Women are much safer in legalised, checked houses, where others are present, than on the streets. If what they are doing is illegal they may be less willing to report any abuse or suspicious behaviour. Legalised "areas" are not really a safe solution as presumably they still have to go off with blokes to unknown premises.

PS Re Edinburgh, so I heard, obviously!

I think he was referring to common name of the illegitimate children from fatherless mothers

The red light district in Amsterdam has been steadily shrinking in size. The main reason why the city authorities have engineered this is that the sex industry was/is dominated by organised crime. It in no way empowered women.

Whats the grandad got to do with this?

Sorry that distressed you

Luckily, I still knew where it was.
I said to the Mrs, last time we were there, "lets cut down this way".

The difficult bit was acting as surprised as she was, once we were in the thick of it.

You may be right. Another problem is trafficking of women and exploitation. That's a problem for the clients too, you can be prosecuted even if you had no idea a woman was being forced into it.

Perhaps making brothels legal businesses, where they pay tax and in return get proper inspections/protections would help.

I tend to just go for a walk round my local llama farm these days. Lady llama's bits are astonishingly human.

The difficult bit was hiding the boner once we were in the thick of it.
