    Oh yes, I can tap into the Eye of Harmony when I'm feeling a little drained of Artron energy. Besides, if it gets all too much for me I can just steal somebody else's body. I like a challenge, me.

    But are they working through a Limited company? If not, IR35 does not apply because they are on Schedule D.

    Drugs. Go easy on the buyer to make it look like you're concentrating resources on the seller, who's the real criminal. Minimal effect.

    Can I be home secretary please? It sounds like a right giggle.

    Pros on IR35



    And there is little to no mutuality of obligation.

    So, why escort agencies openly publish ads in mags - surely they are soliciting? I mean they have this BS, which is that they only let gentlemen get escorts for time, and anything happening between them is up to private individuals, surely its the kind of bull that any court will see through, so why they allowed to operate?

    Prostitution has been legal for years (ever?).

    However there are a bunch of ancillary crimes. The one that spring to mind are:-

    Operating a brothel (if >1 prostitute - soone to be 3).
    Soliciting - hooker make suggestions
    Kerb Crawling - potential john make suggestions
    Living off immoral earnings - somebody elses, your own is fine. Remember to put them on a tax return though.

    It is perfectly possible to operate legally as a prostitute.

    Because it upsets the editor of the Daily Mail. Most criminal justice legislation is driven by last week's editorial.

    Escorts seem to operate very publicly and seem to be totally legit, why others not allowed?

    started a topic Paying for it

    Paying for it

    I'm a little bit confused by this article

    It says:

    It aims to create a safer environment for sex workers and prevent children being lured into the industry.
    I thought it was illegal but this, to me, 'semi-legalises' it...and then

    The definition of a brothel will change so that two or three prostitutes can work together in a bid to improve safety. Under current laws it is legal for one person - and no more - to operate from a flat as a prostitute.
    So prostitution is illegal unless you do it from a brothel?

    However, what is...

    "kerb crawler re-education programmes"
    Does this give you hints on how to get a better price?

Working...
