If escorting was made legal, what difference would that make?? it is legal to buy fuel, cigarettes, drink down here yet gangs make millions smuggling these thing in. All it would do is make sex cheaper and more dangerous. If a girl has to pay tax, rent, and do returns, then no more cash in hand, all documented, no more millions for this site, adds are free in some newspapers. You honestly think this would happen, way too much money being made under the radar.
As well some of the so called " brothels" being raided are in housing estates, or apartment blocks where families live, would you like to buy a house for 400k and have a half-way house for sex offenders next door ?, the reason for raids, are police being asked by locals because of noise, all kinds of weirdos around at all hours, these people could not give a damn if it was not affecting there happiness and right to live in peace, without worry.
