Prostitution itself is not illegal though, its the soliciting that is, standing flagging down cars etc. However, I see your point but if you detatch yourself from the moral view, step back and look at it another way then legalisation would be the best thing that could happen to these girls. If you legalise it then you take away a lot of the motive and means of these pimps and people smugglers. Legalise, make sure everyone who does it has regular checks and has signed up on the register. Those that dont get lifted and heftily fined. Make sure theres an available area for them to work, which is safe and regularly checked by the relevant authority. Anyone working outside these areas would be stopped and arrested. Make sure the men know that they will be arrested, named, shamed and fined if theyre caught propositioning girls anywhere other than this zone. The values (imho) of doing this are: 1. Girls are safer, as its covered by CCTV you would be able to see exactly who had picked them up. 2. Girls get more help, exposure to information on STI's, drug help etc. 3. Residents of current red-light areas get their neighbourhood back. 4. Women in these areas feel safer. 5. Pimps and drug dealers would find it harder to operate. 6. Foreign (illegal) girls could not be forced into it, they would be seen and picked up as soon as they started working anywhere else and couldnt get into the right area without the necessary sign up. 7 And finally, it would pay for itself, this is a black market and theres no reason why it shouldnt be taxed the same as everyone else. however the only way to tax it is to make it visible, closing our eyes and pretending it isnt there doesnt work, never has done and never will.

Margaret McDonald? She was the one with a hairy chest at wor school.

Gas boards were good but we were hardcore, nowt but a bin bag under ya arse! gawd I felt every bump

Its fair enough pointing out the link and yes, I agree that they would be less vulnerable if they werent doing that however now that you're aware of it, count up how often the word appears in the news stories tonight.

shhhhh dont tell him Ahhh I get ya not really his fault for flaking out though. Oh hell aye, he was out cold waaaaaay before that.

Those "tolerance zones" are the sensible answer however the main people against it are those who disagree with what the girls are doing, religious types etc. To an extent I can understand why some people dislike these street girls, if you've ever spent any time in Birmingham then you may know what I mean. I once spent a week there with work and stayed in a hotel on Hagley Road, a residential area which seemed ok until at night when the place totally changed, out would come the girls, pimps and general dodgy looking people. I was talking to a copper who said people couldnt give away what were big smart homes now because of the way it was at night. If people would stick their sensible hat on once in a while then they would see that setting up an area where it was allowed which had CCTV and was away from homes would cut crime, allow residents some peace and keep the girls safe. Maybe then 5 families would be having a better Christmas than they're now expecting.

shhhhh dont tell him

You obviously all went to mong school then.

Don't worry, she wont be looking down. Just at the ceiling in wonderment. If you flake out as easily tonight as you did on Saturday then the short arsed, half fingered limping waiter may get more than a tip off your lass when he delivers the Moet

This whole thing has shown society and the press view these girls as lower than low. Its the only "profession" I can think of where the news will tell you their job in each line of the report. "Murdered prostitute Tanya...." etc all go towards ensuring that the viewers see these girls differently. You hear it in the pubs, at work etc when people are talking about the case, sometime during the conversation someone will pop the words "well they were only tarts" or something equally as disrespectful. These are dead girls, girls who have had a hard life, one way or another and somehow ended up in drugs, yes some have chosen that path to get a release from some other problem while others have been drawn into it by the likes of boyfriends etc. Whichever way you look at it, nobody makes an informed choice to say "I want to be a smack filled crack whore" its a steady decline and comes in stages. The thing that really gets me about the press though is that they wouldnt be reporting the way they do if the girls had chosen the other option to support their habit, "Murdered burglar Tanya" or "Ipswich mugger killings" wouldnt be the headlines yet I know which of these should be shown a little more respect but isnt. These girls hurt nobody but themselves in the choice they make, people dont come home to find their house ransacked by prostitutes or end up in a hospital bed near to death following an encounter. Replies such as that cock on N-O who stated that the killer was "probably a prostitute hater just as he was" shows that people can be led to hate their fellow man by some old scribblings in as book or word of mouth yet the media does nothing to help this.

Have to disagree, Chelsea never looked the better team, on paper yes they should have murdered us but frankly they looked poor tonight. Spent half an hour in a pub with a Chelsea fan who wouldnt look me in the eye when I told him they didnt deserve the win. He had no comeback and just shrugged, even their fans know they're cheating bastards.

Im sure its been posted before but the Argos phone call wind up is a classic and now I've found out hes made another one, this time ringing up a Personnel departments answer phone. I've stuck em both here: Dodgy fookin Geordie prank bloke

It doesn't then. Ahhh thats alreet then so all prostitutes are scum I take it? and deserve to be snuffed out and left floating in a shallow river?

If it's him, he's done us a favour getting the scum off the streets. Does that need a wink? You decide. I dont know, does it? but thats not a its a a looks like whereas a is clearly a

Theres also the logic of scoring "too much" or at least in the Civil Service there is, knew a lass whos sister went for a job as an Admin Officer with the IR and they sent out a test to fill in so the girl I knew who was a Higher Executive Officer (ie 2 grades higher than applying for) at the time, filled it in. Sure enough her sister failed so the lass rang up and (seeing as it was anonymous) pointed out the fact that she had filled it in and was clearly more than capable of the AO job to be told, and I quote "well thast the problem you see, we scored the paper as too high for an AO job" fuckwits the lot of em. EDIT: Oh and Ally, if you get onto the faststream then Im handing in me resignation

According to BBC news hes currently suspended from work... "Hi Tom, sorry to call you in like but Im afraid we're gonna have to suspend you pending further enquiries...Sorry like mate, its come from head office, for some reason they're just not keen on you massacring prossies mate"

pah shite trophy anyways

was not out last night soz...and I don't drink in the hoose !! You may look forward to some drunken ramblings tonight tho from the "Toontastic Xmas Pissup " herd Tenner says none of us type like a retard though. you changing your posting style like?

Some people are friggin mingers, Heard about this one bloke from who went out to the game, on the drink, fell akip on somones settee then went for a long train journey without having a shower.... mingers

we missed out on the Sainsburys one last week though, seemingly you could use multiples, there were stories of people getting £60 off £100 shopping bill!

Number one tallest werepig btw. FACT! hoooo cuntybollocks

6ft 8... and as for the bloke on the train pointing out hes the 4th tallest man in britain thats just sad, pointing out how many peope are taller than him! You'd never get me telling you Im the 27th tallest person in Britain.

Thank you! I thought it was just me, only in urinals but I have this uncontrollable urge to gob one out while Im stood there.

I'm genuinely sorry to hear that and wouldn't have posted it if I thought there was much chance of a board member knowing a victim. I feel prettyu bad now - lesson learned I think. I dont want to appear sceptical however on N-O Rebellious said and I quote "I knew Annette quite well before she became a pro" no mention of her being sister/ sister in law and contradicts the fact above he says "I never knew she was a pro" Either way, sorry to hear of the loss.
