***update on northern ireland legislation***

[TS Jessica Presley]

It's illegal in the US (except parts of Nevada) and we get the job done here just fine. Just mind your business, be discrete and be cool and you'll be ok. This might actually do some good in terms of filtering out the time wasters and get some of the trafficked girls off the street and some help. It's the oldest profession in the world, lads. It will be alright :-)

Oh, and I also forgot to mention...

If you link a bank account to a PayPal account, the names on the accounts have to match.

So anyone making a payment to you gets to see your real name. They've thought of everything.

This fact doesn't bother me. I get PayPal donations online and if they were to out me they would be outing themselves as well. It's all about discretion, this game.

I also accept credit cards for services (in person as well) and you can set what you want them to see on their bill.

To me cash is King but it's all about how bad do you want to get paid.

That's a good message. The only thing I would say is that street workers in Northern Ireland are almost non-existent. The local police reckon there are less than 20 in the entire province, so this legislation is firmly aimed at indoor work.

Be interesting to see how they try to lure escorts and punters into their traps. I'm all for stopping trafficking but leave the independents alone.

I worked Ireland several years back so this is a concern for me as I have entertained the notion of coming back for another round one day.

The DUP’s Paul Givan has launched a Bill to bring in a ‘conscience clause’ exempting businesses from equality legislation on religious grounds.

In a recent interview he set out his thinking. “Equality” he said, “is about ensuring that everybody in society is allowed to live out their lives. We now are heading towards a community where it’s not just about live and let live – people are now saying, ‘you need to affirm my particular lifestyle and if that goes against your conscience, you have to do that’. That’s not equality; that’s intolerance.”

It is good that Mr Givan is committed to equality, and to letting people live out their lives. It is good that he thinks intolerance is a bad thing. But if he thinks we are only now ‘heading towards’ a community characterised by intolerance, he is much mistaken.

We, the Green Party in Northern Ireland are therefore coming out – coming out to stand with the victims of homophobia, coming out to stand proudly as gay or in solidarity with the LGB&/T community, coming out to celebrate the creative and colourful diversity of all our neighbours and fellow citizens.

I hope they will campaign against intolerance of sex workers too.

In a province where a farmer stops a topless Rihanna filming a vdeo in his cornfield(precisely because she was topless ),what do you expect?
And a lot of the southern cousins are not much different either.

Fat chance.

If it was my field I'd let her fire away and get buck naked if she wanted to but it isn't my field. It was his field and if he doesn't want anything done on his property then it's his right to stop it.

Not sure of the point you're getting at.

The real moral of the tale is that a topless(or even better a buck naked)Rihanna is a very arresting sight indeed
Nothing about the social mores of a modern[or not so very modern] Ireland.
And yes indeedy-God bless property rights.

I still don't get the point you're making.
