Results of Extensive Survey of UK Sex Workers Published

[The Libertarian]

Two of the most highly regarded universities in The UK, Leicester and Strathclyde, have published the results of an extensive survey of sex workers in Britain - 'Beyond The Gaze'.

Sorry about the sensationalist headline in the newspaper link -

Their research indicates -

Sex workers take home, on average, over £27K a year - and more than half of them earn less than £20K.

High earnings were often a result of more hours put in.

10% of the women earn more than £50,000, according to the study.

Sex workers reported high levels of job satisfaction due to their ability to make their own decisions about what work they choose to do. This really puts TORLEr nonsense in its true perspective.

More than 4 in 5 said the internet allowed them to work safely and to get help from other colleagues through social media and messaging apps.

Teela Saunders, one of the main researchers behind 'The Beyond The Gaze' survey said -

"Current laws and continued structurally embedded stigmatisation of sex work means that many online sex workers remain invisible behind the screen, denied access to full labour rights, full citizenship and access to social justice, pushed increasingly by current laws to work behind the screen."

I always was surprised about the fact that in a country where marriage between gays is accepted and legal abortion and prostitution its still seen with bad eyes .. why ... I am not yet decided if its an open minded country or not. Gay marriage will say yes it is as other countries still not accept it but when i look at the rest... i,m not sure..

No doubt the powerest at be will completely ignore the study.

Grannies? Rather ancient beasts so stuck in their archaic customs that they refuse to move forward with the modern world and instead do their utmost to hang on to a fossilised idealism that is nothing but a cancer on the modern world.

If we could have a population transfer swapping about 200K fucking redneck gobshites of our own for an equivalent number of talented skilled educated people from the developing world with a particular bias towards beautiful single ladies, now that would make us substantially better!

"Most prostitutes have a high level of job satisfaction despite them earning less than £20,000 a year on average"

"Prostitutes take home, on average, £27,271 a year"

We have now gone beyond the realm of "fake news" and "alternative facts." Now news outlets are misusing mathematical terms to create blatant self-contradictions within the same article.
