As if WGs don't already do this already.

More gutter press from Stephanie Balloo.

I’ve read both articles relating to this escort. And in this instance, I wouldn’t call it gutter press. I think the article brings to light the dangers escorts face. Which is different from prior articles attacking UKP.

I think some SPs already this for safety reasons and I think the police turn a blind eye to it as they want the SPs to be safe and it means they get assault cases to investigate, so everyone's a winner.  I think provided they are discreet and cause no problems then the police don't have a problem with it.

I’ve read the article and don’t see anything “gutter press” about it. It’s not high end journalism but it seems fine to me and something that really should be reported more and then maybe people wouldn’t stigmatise and look down on sex workers. Which brings me on nicely to this utter crap from someone who fits that description.

Typical attention seeking

Seeking attention for being seriously assaulted and abused twice should be applauded. Your depths of hatred towards escorts and women know no bounds. You are a despicable human being and yet again I’m still amazed you’re here spouting this bile. I sincerely hope that you don’t have any women in your life at all.

Got to say I'm with sensualencounter, theaccountant and randomguy99 on this one - surprised you two could read the articles, look at the photos and make comments like that . Every day is a school day.

[RandomGuy99]

Just look at the other forum and see the BS SPs put up with on a daily basis and you'll understand why it would be safer for SPs to work in pairs when possible.

It's badly written but the points it raises stand.

Ok boss

The point is:

1. A lot of wgs already work in groups
2. It's yet again another one-sided hit piece on punters. Even the followup article describes punters as pariahs.

BTW nobody here is condoning violence on wgs, but not once do they seem interested in repenting the views of the other side (punters).

[JontyR]

Give her a call. I bet she'd do a piece on it.

Don't expect anyone to thank you for it though.

You might think you’re not condoning violence but by trying to make out it’s trash journalism, you come pretty close to doing so. And as for “nobody here is condoning violence…” I’m pretty sure you can’t speak for all members and, again, punting2022’s misogyny and outright hostility to escorts shines through.

If punters didn’t beat the shit out of escorts, rob them and abuse them, then maybe we’d have a bit more respect from society? Your opinion of essentially wanting to shut down reporting of this to protect us from looking bad is rather perverse.

It is trash journalism because as we already said a lot of wgs already work in groups. It's not about shutting down reporting but about fair and accurate representation.

But you've made it clear sensual that you wish to elevate yourself above punters with your holier than thou attitude. So you'll happily bash other punters if it makes you look good. Not exactly one for comraderie are you.

The vast majority of punters are decent people and I’m not perfect. But it’s about calling out idiots with stinking attitudes such as yourself and punting2022. I couldn’t give a shit about “elevating myself”  but if you feel strongly about it then hit the report button.

And we all know escorts work in groups. But the fact is if they work together in the same property then it’s classified as a brothel and is illegal.

It's right for the media to point out that the law does not allow two SPs to work from the same premises. A law change would be good. In the meantime some SPs unofficially work in groups to provide protection.

However, some SPs/pimps work in large groups. For example, I once visited a building where it became clear that one group of 5 SPs were working. The building was full of SS and they were running a conveyor belt service and attracting a lot of attention from neighbours. I headed home without seeing an SP.

Oh so wanting fair portrayals of punters is idiotic. Yet again bashing others to try make yourself look good.

The whole brothel law is so loosely enforced. Blue belle suite is well known brothel and is still open. This particular WG has options and indeed she wants to go back to the agency because they can do screening for her.

Are you saying that punters don’t beat up escorts or abuse them or steal their money or threaten them with violence?

They do, but it's completely one sided reporting to only cherry pick the worst of punters and say the "nice ones" are social outcasts.

Lets not forget this wg had 2 articles in the same day. That's a lot of coverage for just one sp.

[sensualencounter]

So you expect them to do a report about nasty punters, highlighting the dangers to escorts and how the law should be changed to offer an deterrent to them and then somehow mitigate it by saying “not all punters”?

As for the nice ones being social outcasts, I don’t recall seeing that in the article? But I might have missed it. Some punters are, some aren’t. If they’ve made that as a sweeping statement for all punters then yes that’s not good.

Well of you look at Stephanie Balloo's articles they are wholly negative towards punters. They can report when punters do bad things but when that's all they report then that's biased.

The second article basically says the so called nice punters are ones are ugly or have disability. Which again is still disparaging.
