I think it's a good idea. Protection for the women involved and hopefully move them away from exploitation.
Also, if they are paying NI then they are contributing to cost of the care the NHS provides when dealing with their drug addiction, sexual diseases, injuries from dodgy clients, mental health care and so on.Comment

While some women may be forced into it, exploited or trying to deal with drug addition etc that does not describe all sex workers. Some perfectly normal, sometimes married, women choose to do it for the money. Decriminalisation would benefit both types.
PS Except they'd have to pay tax, as atW said. Still, there's always cash in hand, which so many handymen use.
PPS And decriminalisation may lead to that pensioner's free brothel pass that I'm hoping for.bloggoth

At least the government could actually make some money from putting prostitutes on the books so to speak.Comment

Originally posted by woohoo View PostI'm all for that. But I doubt your average tax payer/voter will care that much about providing support services to prostitutes when social and mental care is so stretched.
