That Bill is now being Voted on

[The Libertarian]

Now that is a situation and, that is what happens. Bad clients will target girls that don't have English as a first language or ones that are less established, assuming they will be weaker.

And while the ODP (Ordinary Decent Punter - The vast vast majority of us) will at least initially be deterred from visiting escorts with this bscene law on the way, nutter punters like those, will not and may even use it to abuse more sex workers! That's a reflection of the level of insanity this law is pitched at!

[Ballsup]

And meanwhile we are witnessing a law in the process of being passed which will make life hell on earth for sex workers and is deliberately intended to do so!
Oh and BTW re the 3 year review, sure, we can write that now, if previous form is anything to go by - In its 3 years of operation this bill has reduced prostitution and has been an overwhelming success and there will be no mention of the amounts of increased assaults on sex workers and client suicides and of course not a single member of the great and good in our society will ever have been prosecuted as a client under it!

Why you getting so worked up about this, you knew it was only a matter of time and knew it would fly through. It's something we can not change now unfortunately.
Sadly Laura lee will not win her case in the North either.
Make no mistake there has been prosecutions and there will be lots more, I have represented a few clients who got a slap on the wrist and now with it all tied up on both sides you will see it policed much better, that when Stormont is up and running again

Come on Rachel, you are supposed to be intelligent and yet you refuse to acknowledge advice and make out I'm having a go at you and then start having a go at my character. I have never said that I haven't had a bad client, I just handle them in a way where I would rather diffuse the situation and make the best of it. If I am not happy with what could have potentially happened, then I won't see them again.

You can always check my reviews if you want to know who the good guys are

I have never hit anyone either. I am a diffuser and, once spent 7 hours diffusing a situation. A slap might have done, I will never know, wouldn't want to know either tbh.

And, I'm Irish ...the option to be fussy and, well able to talk myself out of any anything. Other girls, I just don't know, it's tricky business.

(Everyone back the fuck off Rachel and her non situation)

[Barney Rubble]

It is not okay yet you stayed in that relationship ...

The strange thing Rachel is that she two timed me so technically she ended the relationship. I probably deserved the odd slap though and she is a lovely person (without drink)

No Barney, you would never deserve a slap

The Irish diffuser/seeking a consensus mentality might along with our military neutrality (which I hope we will never use!) go along way towards explaining why we have a reputation for being superb peace keepers with the UN in war torn areas (again something to be imensely proud of!). I don't know exactly, but I have not heard of many Eastern European Armies being used on UN peacekeeping missions!

Mm yep I did mean a client situation though, the ole fatal attraction thing. Actual work work situations are fine, thow them at me, no one's going to loose body parts there.

From your post you seem to have something of a legal background and thanks for your valuable input. Why am I so worked up over this, well there are a few reasons.
The main one is that a law is about to be enacted which will cause very real harm and it is intended to cause that very real harm in particular to sex workers! I cannot recall except for one any law which was definitely going to cause harm let alone one which was definitely intended to do so being enacted in my lifetime in The Republic before! With of course one dramatic exception, the law springing from the 8th ammendment (voted on when we were still very much a redkneck nation, I was to young to vote in that referendum!), which equated a woman's life in value terms to a foetus, which to me is abhorrent nonsense!
Other reasons -
The great and the good in our society will never be prosecuted if caught as punters under it, there will be as with virtually all Irish Laws a strong class bias in who gets nailed!
Psychotic clients will love it.
It is a victory for those that established the Magdelyne Launderies and Radickal Feminists who would probably wish for every male foetus to be compulsorily aborted! What a marriage made in hell!
It is very much a red line issue with me that consenting adults should have the right to engage with each other in private, as they wish unless it's beyond any comprehension extreme S and M!
It's a lot about cynical politicians acting the bollocks!
What are punters with disabilities going to do for sexual release now?
That's just a few reasons of the top of my head!

BTW why do you think Laura will lose, PM on that one as we don't want to give NI Judicks info! Surely a state cannot constitutionally introduce a law to cause harm!
Oh and The WHO, Dr. Derek Freidman, Senator David Norris and Amnesty International and every active sex worker are opposed to the new law coming up!

What was this thread about again?
Some law or other?
Can't have been of any importance,
whatever it was.

My lovely client just left with a black eye and a broken rib.

Joke aside... Back on the topic.

One thing that comes to mind reading this thread ... At the moment it is illegal to share, which most escorts do. It doesn't seem to be an issue for a client, even tho, if the place is raided, he could be asked to testify in court. Even tho doesn't happen very often, it happened and can happen in the future.

Ye are going nuts about the new coming law, asking others to be fair etc ... but yourselves do not look at every angle of the law, risks involved visiting an escort.
