We have had several agencies busted in the last year and no trafficking involved in them. 99% of women work of their own freewill indep and agency included.

How are agencies let open in the UK?
I know what you mean, but it's not really correct to say that when you give your money to an independent she gets it all. Independent escorts have plenty of expenses, especially for accommodations. And advertising here isn't cheap either.
To answer irlock's question, agencies in Ireland are generally pretty awful, from the point of view both of the client and of the escort. I've never punted in England, but from what I've heard there are good and bad agencies there.
They work on a commission basis, and use the cover all that you are paying for 'time and companionship'. If the police choose to close them and arrest the owners they can, as it is a flimsy cover all- however they usually don't if there are no problems. It depends heavily on the area, as different police forces have different policies. Also agencies in England would take up to a maximum of 30%, as opposed to up to 50% in Ireland. The majority of ladies choose to work with an agency quite happily, and would not want the stress and hassle of running an online business on top of working as an escort.
I can only go by what i know here in the Rep. Im not saying that trafficking doesnt exist but i still call bs on that being the main reason why guys go to indeps. Guys go to indeps because they hope they get a better deal, time etc not because of concern. If they were this concerned they wouldnt visit escorts period.
