BREAKING: DUP claims Clause 15 has Royal Assent, now Law

BBC Ulster is running a story tomorrow that the purchase of sex is now a criminal offence in Northern Ireland.

The story seems to be based on a press release from the DUP. Minor technical details like a commencement period or a Statutory Instrument to enable the legislation seem to have passed them by. What a surprise.

More details to follow on Good Morning Ulster tomorrow, apparently. Situation is still a bit unclear right now.

Follow @GlasgaeLauraLee or @BBCgmu on twitter for details.

It's DUP spin. Clause 15 will not be enforced until 1st June.

I was in Ulster yesterday and all was Quiet and peaceful Long may it remain

Ruhama, Who, life will go on, humans always enjoy life in any way they "Choose" and Now Isil is the Focus not people who enjoy intimacy, which is Life enhancing :p

The DUP, a fine upstanding body of Chrristian bullies and bigots.

I thought there was always a charge connected to sex, whether married, together or otherwise... As it is I find escorts charges, general much less than those other examples I just gave.

I wish this were true. The fact is that this is part a global, largely feminist movement against sex work, with the DUP just being the useful idiots in this case.
