Sex Trade

Something really should be done about these women who are prepared to sell themselves for money.

I'm curious as to what sexual favours this woman exchanged to get where she is. You can hardly say she got the job because she's competent as we all know she isn't.

I have a few issues with this plan to ban prostitution:

1. Where do you draw the line?
Are they planning on banning hardcore pornography as that involves people having sex for money.
If a man buys a woman a drink and ends up having sex with her then has he paid her for it?
If a woman marries an older, richer man and then divorces him for a large amount of money, does that make Heather Mills-McCartney a prostitute?
If a pop star does a raunchy video or poses for a mens magazine like FHM, is she performing a sex-act in exchange for financial reward?

2. Does it even make any logical sense?
Harriet Harman said on Radio 4
We do need to have a debate and unless you tackle the demand side of human trafficking which is fuelling this trade, we will not be able to protect women from it

So Harriet, how exactly is making it illegal for consenting adults to have sex in exchange for money going to fix the problem of adults or children being forced into having sex?

Completely legalise it, license it, regulate it and tax it. Making it illegal only protects the very criminals you're supposedly trying to put out of business.

It does worry me that such a complete moron can become such a prominent member of the Labour party.
