Here we go again ...

"Women formerly involved in the sex industry have spoken of their experience of abuse, extreme violence and rape to lend their voices to a campaign for legislation criminalising the purchase of sex.
The Turn Off The Red Light coalition of more than 70 organisations wants to see the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences) Bill 2015 passed by the Dáil in the current term."
... and so on and so on.

I won't be going to visit that crew anytime soon.If 90% of escorts looked like those guys we would all turn gay. Fitzy seems hell bent on pushing this disgrace through and the pigz must be licking their lips at the prospect of busting punters in the New year.

Scarry. Hope it doesn't pass!
