I'm sure some our non native English language readers are thinking their level of English is not as good as they thought after reading this.

Don't worry. I haven't got a fucking clue what it means either :-)

i don't understand why you have been so inpolite?

Apologies if I have offended you. It was meant to be taken as a bit of fun.

I don't normally like to slag someone else's post and use bad language, but sometimes I can be a bit of a cunt !

"impolite"

[OnlyMe]

"impolite"

Or the less common spelling, "fuck you"

he makes some good points-the middle bit upsets them so much.
the UK police found little evidence?

Jesus , just heard Tom Dunne on newstalk saying 'when you pay for sex, you are supporting sex traffickers and criminals...'
This is gathering momentum.
He mentioned a site www.turnofftheredlights.ie

We really need to get properly involved in this debate now.

I might have spelling of site wrong. I'm driving. Maybe someone can post correct name?

Fair play to everybody who responded to the request. Kevin Myres' article was mentioned in the thread. He is the Ronaldo of Journalism and writing I think and exposed some of the lies that we have to listen to from the groups who want to bring in this retrograde law.

another negative article in the Irish Times today.

"the women involved have no real choice," "tonight, 1000+ women are on sale on the internet all over Ireland." (paraphrasing)

such loaded arguments, sophistry of the highest order.

Why do they insist that 'escort' always equals 'trafficked victim'? In reality I imagine this is true about 0.1% of the time. (a % that should of course be helped/traffickers prosecuted etc). Maybe I am naively wide of the mark.

What is their definition of 'trafficked' I wonder. Why have the police both here and in GB stated that there is little 'sex trafficking' as a normal person would understand the term.

I am guessing that most escorts are economic migrants, i.e. they work here at their chosen profession for the money, primarily.
