Maybe though there is an agenda here where politicians are as fucked off with being bait and switched, the influx of Romanians and shite services being provided by hookers they have come up with the idea that introducing draconian laws may get rid of the shit service providers and increase quality of hookers as only those really committed to being a whore and therefore ensure they provide a great service to have a good reputation will continue to be a hooker.
Perhaps in the House of Lords and the Commons this the one issue their is cross path agreement on, the shite service most hookers provide and the fact action needs to be taken?
I think the main agenda is more to do with stupid little unknown MPs latching on to an international stage. They quote hearsay back and forth as if it was evidence, get themselves in foreign media releases, and suddenly feel important.
The more serious involvement of politicians is disgusting beyond the pale, and makes Berlusconi look like a ugly mugs angel.

External Link/Members OnlyThe way all sorts of NGOs pervert facts is well established. I believe the pattern was set by the CIA in the US-VietNam war, which whistleblower Agee clearly showed was extended because so many of the field operatives feeding data to Washington were getting fat salaries for non-existent jobs, and that their income would cease if the war ceased.
I have seen a similar thing on a smaller scale so many times when travelling. An NGO with a big fat office and a big fat 4x4 in some shit-hole country tells tourists that helping them helps the local near-starving population. I have nearly come to blows on occasion with such con-merchants when challenging their figures (they will do something like provide one water well, which they proudly show tourists who have paid western rates for a tour, only less than a fraction of one per cent of which goes to building anything (locals are simply bribed to nod accordingly).
External Link/Members Only and
External Link/Members OnlyWe saw a similar thing on the abuse figures invented and then batted back and forth to parliament as if they were facts. I personally know of several
'charities' who would be out of a job (i.e. out of government funding) if they did not come up with stories to "prove" the need for their existence. All they need is some lackey or gullible idiot in parliament to repeat their 'reports' as if they were on the same level as properly conducted academic studies. It stinks beyond belief!
Abolitionists will also latch on to any news story and invent terrible estimates that have no basis in reality. For instance, this one on the world cup:
