You see pimps can go around calling themselves "sex workers" these days, very convenient.
Funny that you know that but New Statesman is completely in the dark about it.
thanks, I did thatUgly mugs Ireland = Escort Ireland and Peter McCormick & son. They are pimps, and they've gotten filthy rotten rich off it.
If you google round you'd probably find stuff but a lot of what these pro-sex work lobbies get up to is revealed in julie bindel's recent book.
Yeah, funny isn't it? :slanted:
According to this Irish former sex worker, "Escort Ireland is an advertising service specifically for the sex industry, no more, no less." And she's actually quite critical of it. It does at any rate clearly operate within the law, which would not be the case if it were actually a pimp network.
All this is by the by the bye, though, next to the obvious fact that criminalising paying for sex does not "save women from prostitution" but merely forces them to drastically lower both their rates and their client standards, making them poorer and more vulnerable to assault, robbery and exploitation by pimps (real ones!) offering them 'protection'.
I mean, I notice you haven't actually debunked the fact of an increase in anti-prostitute violence in Ireland but have simply cast aspersions about the source of the information.

Ms Smyth said her site is no longer associated with Escort Ireland and has no hidden agenda. “It is correct to say that I started Ugly Mugs out as a bolt on to the Escort Ireland safety forum. That’s a fact I am very happy to openly acknowledge. Then after few years I formed Ugly Mugs as its own organisation and it was no longer connected to Escort Ireland ,” Ms Smyth said. “We are interested in the safety of sex workers only.”
By all accounts the lobbies in Ireland receive a shitload of George Soros Open Society funding too so what does that tell you?
I don't think it is a "fact", havent seen or not aware of any reliable figures.
So, a question for those advocating decriminalisation.
Whatever about the morals of selling sex - do you think its moral for a man to buy sex?
The Gardai - not an organisation with a historical proclivity to sympathy to sex workers -
