Indeed, HP. Pedalling ideological, narrow-minded prejudice. Infuriating

Yes but this was some days after they gave Amnesty the column inches to spout the benefits of the Nordic model.

[Marmalade]

Both the Guardian and (also, but less often, Amnesty) have no clear idea of human rights. They were correct in speaking out against Prism, but it's as if they make up moral judgements on the spot.

I wish I understood the issues. My own view is simplistic. I never read the Amnesty report and gave up after a few lines of the Grauniad article.

1. I do not want to meet ladies who are working unwillingly, whether UK or foreign citizens, no coercion.

2. Criminals have to be caught so in the case 1 above the state should work hard to catch the pimps and smugglers and abusers.

3. I do not want ladies to be made into criminals because I pay for their time or pay for their services.

4. I do not want to be made into a criminal for paying ladies.

Sounds to me like you understand the issues perfectly. And your view is simplistic because the issue is. I, just like you want to buy a service from someone willing to sell it and at a price we agree on. End of story. The hang ups that other people invent surrounding our hobby are their problem not ours.

Completely agree, most of the people pushing for us and the WG's to become criminals are connected to religion.

KEEP YOUR GOD OUT OF MY BEDROOM PLEASE
