I think its a tad dramatic to call it the worst news ever, id image if u were told u had cancer or there was going to be a nuclear holocaust this wouldnt seem so bad , a bit of perspective called for id say

I think you are undermining how Catriona feels, as under this new legislation, sex workers will become much more vulnerable to dangerous clients.

Exactly
Existing guys likely to stick with regulars and any guys with less than good intentions likely to choose those who may be willing to accept business from people they cant get references for
Sad day

i didn't expect to that ...
i knew about this but...
unfortunately it's the worst news for today..!

I read this news in the paper while at lunch.

Samlad made the point this will put ladies in increased danger.

A post from Torl appeared on Facebook.
I made exactly the same point and was abused no end.

It's a tough one to argue against as most aren't interested or have an opinion based on propaganda.

I think it's the end

Well i suppose that comes with the territory of the work, any girl will tell u that they know its a risky profession and its really up
to the individual to reduce the risk to the best of their ability. If then u dont feel comfortable u should change ure job.
Personally i work in the sector that loses more lives each year and has more accidents than any other in the country, if i wasnt
happy with the risk level its up to me to change my career nobody else.

Ah, yes, the old 'occupational hazard' argument. I suppose manufacturers should stop putting seat belts in cars next because it's their own fault if the driver brakes too hard and goes through the windscreen. But at least some people will assess that and make that choice not to drive or get in a car at all.

Thats a very poor example im afraid as seat belts being cumpulsory has as much to do with safety of others as the user themselves.

The point is that....at the moment many ladies do feel comfortable with their work with regard safety because there are some ways they can ensure to the best of their ability that they stay as safe as possible.
This new law is not criminalising the ladies but it is opening them up to the possibility of further risk under the cloak of a law that is supposed to do the opposite.
Im guessing the sector you refer to has health and safety risks that lead to accidents?
This is a law that will lead to health and safety risks
Its crazy
