I hope she succeeds before the nonsense inquiry currently at parliamentary committee stage in GB gathers any pace.

Very interesting indeed. There is no easy answer to the problem of trafficking but I fear that our politicians will take the normal route of media friendly political expediency over facts and what will actually work.

i suppose cutting off the revenue stream for traffickers by criminalising seeing escorts could work but in practice I can't see it making any difference. Going after the traffickers seems a more productive method.
