It's a long time since I fucked British SWs but I remember sometimes they did use a first and second warning system (although I still seemed to manage several first warnings without a second warning).
I think they probably play a lot of the same scenarios:
External Link/Members OnlyHere's quite an amusing one with some figures:
External Link/Members OnlySounds like they're occasionally too busy fighting crime to piss off punters and providers.
But with no terror attacks in Bham and Wolverhampton seems they have fuck all else better to do there:
External Link/Members OnlyExternal Link/Members OnlyThe prossies themselves have highlighted the pattern and it keeps playing out in different cities. Edinburgh had the best record for a long time. The girls used a quiet, most non-residential area down Leith but it was patrolled by police which added safety, as it should. No-one got prosecuted unless they were out of order. I got politely moved on once cos the copper said it was too public a place down by the beach. He was quite apologetic. A semi-regular I saw would encourage me to drive quite a way to somewhere very safe and no rush or bother. I had the same with occasional art school students in Glasgow's day. It was all very laid back and civilised.
The other thing that helped Edinburgh was needle-exchange. Helped to keep the druggies off the street, slashed the hiv rate, and it all continued in an atmosphere of rational tolerance.
Then first some property developers revamped the area and residents moved in and complained. Then the Muslims got up in arms and started street policing themselves (as if these people didn't know it was a fucking RLD when they moved there ffs).
Then the heavy handed cops move in and everyone gets paranoid. There's no protection for the girls. The punter can't have a quiet word if he's robbed. Decent people tend to avoid the area and it fills up with criminals.
Glasgow had a series of murders. Instead of looking at how to fix the situation they think if they make more of the same mistake it will somehow disappear. Of course, threatening people with £1000 fines and big banners to that effect on the Western Approach no doubt did help them scare off a lot of punters. By that time it was all crims anyway.
