"Why new law banning the purchase of sex is patronising and problematic"

Yet another common-sense article from a serious newspaper condemning Lord Morrow's Bill.
Unfortunately, politics, especially Northern Ireland politics, is not about common-sense, or reasoned, logical, well thought out, ideas.

Good article.

people (just like you) telling you not to:

pay for sex
go England for abortion
use banned substances

they need to FUCK OFF out of my life and control theirs.

that was the most concerning aspect of the 'debate'. some people think THEY know what's best for ME

what will they try to control next?

try[/I] to control next?

Your water , your bank account need I go on

The Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women strongly opposes criminal penalties against clients, stating that they “not only threaten the effectiveness of anti-trafficking efforts, they often place sex workers at greater risk of violence and exploitation”.

And they say they want to stop trafficking..... What a scam!

i said try as illicit drugs is a billion euro industry on the island of Ireland

As suggested in the article, it is about Lord Morrow getting brownie points (and votes) from crazies like the Evangelical Protestant Society.

Interesting well thought out commentary. Unfortunately Ms Fitzgerald will not be swayed by any of it . This government will do all it can to deflect attention away from water charges , they have had their two weeks to bash SF now they will move on to another easy target .
