Despite the usual cliched street worker pics accompanying these news items, this is a very welcome development and a third kick in the teeth for Rhoda Grant who can't seem to recognise when to give up.
Grant, Benson, Charlton and anyone with any basic knowledge of local sex work knows that most of the crap they're feeding the public is nonsense. And just to prove it, an undercover sex worker visited Ruhama recently to see how they 'help' sex workers in practical terms.
The full article is here:

but this passage is interesting:
''What struck me the most, however, was that Crowley (Ruhama) clearly understands the reality of sex work quite well, despite Ruhama’s promotion of nonsensical “pimp” and “exploitation” mythology; she understands touring and advertising, recognizes that independent girls outnumber those with managers (“traffickers”) and even gets that most clients are very decent.''
Seems that smell of bullshit surrounding the TORL campaign is even stronger than we thought.
