[wanted the best 69]

I thought that was a call to arms, I have my paint and placard ready, however you seem to be suggestiong we just pipe down, accept criminalization and adjust. Not the way I do things normally, but hey thats just me.

one point comes to mind , the pimps make a lot of money out of these girl,then here is the question for all of us clients,who gave the pimps the money?? maybe as others have said,we need to look in the mirror,to find the answer

And make the client pay through the nose for the privilege and then give him a good kick in the nuts as he leaves the booking.!( just to keep him in his place )

Steve, I have bad news for you, if the government go ahead with the criminalization the client will be paying a much higher price, and not just financial. Regulation would be a win win for all.

Absolutely. My post was just a doff of the cap to Heather !

Of course regulation would be better than the swedish model --- worse still that model will stop a huge swath of ' good, clean ' clients in their tracks --- like me !!

All you guys out of work should get your applications in to join the Gardai.
They are going to have to triple the number of officers to enforce the new law if it comes in.
You will get to sit in a nice warm car with coffee and doughnuts and a camera. Maybe catch a little snooze at quiet times.

If you all feel so strongly about it then do something. Stop blaming EI the Ladies , we are the clients the people that have them here if you don't want them to go then stop hiding here and get out on the streets.
I for one am accepting the inevitable like most reasonable people and I am fortunate enough that if the rates go up I can afford and it will make things a lot safer.
No point moaning about it what goes around always comes around.
If I want too see a Lady like Liberty and she moves north to work then I will travel what's the big deal you didn't honestly think nothing was going to be done.
EI will survive , the girls will survive , and the clients will adjust.

Easy cowboy.....I'm not blaming EI and definitely not blaming the ladies! I'm questioning a post that has contradictions in it!

The girls can come or go from Ireland, I dont mind. My point is that this is how the independents make a living and I cannot see how this will help an independent. Especially an Irish independent where moving abroad might not be an option.

I can see how it could help with trafficking but what does UK do in relation to this? A place where you seem quite happy to visit?

Start A Poll, See How Many Would say They Will Take To The Streets,

Then See How Many Would Actually Turn Up, Prob 0 ! Then Again Maybe 1, Just Myself

All The Debating About This Just Goes on In Here, Why Are There No Indie's, Clients Going On Tv or Radio Apart From Scarlett Even a Spokes Person from EI

As the laws are different in Ireland from the UK, does this mean that we will see an influx of escorts moving up to the north?

Yes. It would bring rates back up too, for sure. And the kick in the nuts will be 50 extra please. Pointy stilettos or hobnail boots Sir?
Sir.. See how much more polite I am at the mere suggestion of rates going back up?

Ok. Let's meet outside Leinster house on Sat at 11.00 to protest and put the case to the people. I'll get the kids to run up some boards and get the wife to do some sangers. Are we on ?

Heather, if I was into that 'financial destruction' fetish, I could not think of anyone better than you to book -- you would be a real pro !! And with that big heart of yours, I feel sure I could persuade you to throw in a kick in the nuts as a freebie !
