The media cries wolf and Stalin (reborn) and cohort will expect our broad shoulders to bear the brunt of their tax hike...

An increasing number of women are turning to sex work "to make ends meet".

it certainly doesn't seem like it!

[puntingking]

it certainly doesn't seem like it!

I know, if anything it seems like women are leaving sex work.

5000 sex workers in Wales......how many are sheep ?
Baaaaaa...

[RedKettle]

it is a wide definition and will include for example only fans.  Does not mean WGs.

[Strawberry]

This is a story recycled almost as much as resistant gonorhea and let's criminalise purchase of sex to help save women who do not know they are being harmed.

This isn't to say these issues and stories are not real but starting to feel like a filler.

Obviously the ones who pull the wool over your eyes.

in my belief a sex worker is only a sex worker if she does have sex for money.

I won't get called a football player if I am seen in a photo holding a football. 
my job title is not a fruit picker if I am putting fruits on the shelves in a supermarket 
and I am not a sex worker if I take pictures of myself in the nude for a job

Thats your belief but you are wrong.

Do you not consider cammers or dommes for example sex workers?

what the fuck has your definition to do with it?  The definition used in the article being discussed is what is relevant to the discussion.

says 5000 sex workers are in wales, they may all be wgs and that figure may not show only fans women in that number because they may define sex workers the same way as I define them.

because itv news may mean working girls.

no, i don't consider sex cams work as sex work.

If I act in a movie the role of a football player, am I an actor or a football player? 

women (or men) performing in front of a camera in a "sexy" way are entertainers in my view but not sex workers.

are actors playing a role in a erotic thriller sex workers? no they are not.

if kate winslet performs a sex act in part of her movie scene for a Hollywood film, she won't be regarded as a sex worker.

sex work should be fully decriminalised. it is safer for all sex workers.

I fail to see your logic

I hate to break it to you but they decided to use the ONS definition rather than consult with you. That as I said includes the full range of sex workers whether or not you think that is correct.

[Bonker]

I would rather have quality over quantity.

It is, except in NI 

[Strawberry]

It is, except in NI 

The call for decriminalisation usually refers to allowing 2 SPs to work together, this is currently illegal.

fully decriminalised means allowing sex worker to work anywhere. Currently in Engand, wales and scotland sex workers cannot work in brothels, they cannot work with a friend in the same property and among other things.

Prostitution is legal and sex workers are not breaking the law by working in a brothel, unless they are have any involvement in the management of the brothel

Not strictly true.

Also what is strictly illegal and what would be in the public interest to prosecute are two very different things. There's a lot of scope for discretion by the police and CPS.

[DastardlyDick]

fully decriminalised means allowing sex worker to work anywhere. Currently in Engand, wales and scotland sex workers cannot work in brothels, they cannot work with a friend in the same property and among other things.

While that may be the strict interpretation of the Law, as DavieMac says, there is a lot of discretion exercised by Law Enforcement. The day's when brothels were routinely raided are long gone, unless there's an allegation of the women being trafficked or coerced into sex work, the Police have enough in their plates to deal with.

No it doesn't.
