The London scene is very different from Dublin isn't it. I suppose a lot more of the girls in Ireland are visitors rather than residents whilst the girls in London generally are based there. I always thought though that the good agencies provided an element of protection for the girls - they helped vet the punters, added a third party to the arrangement in case the girl had any trouble. Although it was obvious that some of the Asian specific agencies were involved in exploitation of the girls. Still it was easy enough to identity and avoid the bad ones.
