Harriet Hymen is saying that we really should not be paying for sex and it should be illegal. Well, OK what she is saying is that there should be a ‘dialogue‘. When a government Minister says “let us have a dialogue” you know full well that a decision has been made, and the dialogue is about how, not whether, to implement it.
It is true that there is a problem with trafficking girls for sex work and that some girls are trapped into doing it the question is what the true extent of the problem is: sure the government says it is an extensive problem but Geeklawyer distrusts the governments motives and wonders if there is there any independent evidence?
And what is ludicrous is the feminist twaddle underlying it: men & all the clients are deliberate evil exploiters, the poor girls are all victims. Which is crap. Unpalatable as it may be to the ‘right on’ feminists many women wholly voluntarily engage in prostitution: chav girls with no other earning potential, impoverished students all of whom know full well what they are doing. Their clients are committing no crime in taking the services on offer; nor does it seem likely that they usually know when they are using a coerced sex-worker.
Hymen is trying to create a victim culture and pick easy targets. What, you’re surprised?
What worries me is that Harriet Harman QC MP may well have a ‘Damascus’ moment and take on the the second oldest profession next..
Good fucking grief!! A QC!!
She’s retarded. Famous for being regarded as a bit dim. I am stunned.
She used to be Solicitor General, a position which attracts the dubious (but entirely ceremonial) honour of being appointed a QC. No long application process, no judicial references, no application fee. Vera’s been given the same thing.
I am mightily relieved. I had begun to doubt the merits of Simon Myerson and CharonQC but now I realise I was mistaken. Clearly, and putting on my IP lawyer hat, allowing airheads like Harriet Hymen to be QC - whether honorary or otherwise - dilutes the brand.
Despite all that, I do think your news that Dame Vera Lynn is to be a QC is thoroughly deserved: without her we would all be speaking German now.
It’s all part of The Assault On Marriage and the De-Christianisation Of Society.
“Huh?” I hear you say. Well, isn’t it bloody obvious that marriage is just a long-term prostitution contract? The woman provides sexual gratification in exchange for the protection that only a heterosexual man can provide. So there’s somegood grounds on which to get the religious extremists and far right to back the ancient institution of prostitution, and consequently, New Tory are guaranteed to Leave Our Traditions Alone.
Errm, your traditions, not ours. I’ve never needed a hooker.
