Raids....

[kingbee]

yes- my circumstances were a bit unique at that time and in fact my Brazilian friend did a great job in obtaining effectively the protection of the police such was the respect they had for HER

not so sure it would work in ireland lol, Spain sees prostitution in a wholly different light- much like the ability to spend on luxury cars you are respected by the Police for the ability to hire prostitutes- a badge of honour if you like

In the Republic of Ireland I can see a tax audit looming and a background criminal records check being de rigeur should you spend money on an escort

The gardai "visited" 22 properties in Carlow town. One of which is next door to my mothers and owned by a solicitor .

Was chatting to him tonight and he told me what the gardai told him , pretty much that this was an island wide clamp down to discourage the sex trade !!!

To make matters worse for the gardai ,they mistook his address for a similar address on the other side of the town. So he was not their target at all.

Not wishing to stir things up in anyway but this post is very relevant to the information gathering welfare visit debate. It has been overlooked. The solicitor quoted is the closest we have outside of conversations with escorts to what is actually going on. The garda at your local station will know nothing of the overall purpose of the raid and probably will care less, but when you hear words like "clamp down to discourage the sex trade" does it not set a few bells off. The best advice is to exercise caution in communications both ladies and clients.

Ah shucks, I was relying on you to give me the abbreviated version........ must try harder

Okie dokies.

Men are spooked because they think we all got raided.
Men think we should pay tax.
Men think that escorts shouldn't go and identify themselves because then they will be prosecuted for not paying tax.
Um..Doodlebug is on an X Files thing.
Lucy's troll fanclub turned up for a turn.
Kingbee is the new brothel legal eagle
Escorts think the men are drama llamas
And then we are back to men are spooked because they think we got raided, despite the fact every single one of us are working happily away.

The End (Some fecking hope)

How did I do?

And then we are back to men are spooked becuase they think we got raided, despite the fact every single one of us are working happily away.

You did great, thanks, apart from one issue;

My masculinity is thrown into question by your analysis as I was not spooked, I don't think you should pay tax (not my business either way) and I think it's entirely your business whether or not you wish to identify yourselves etc. Does this mean that I am a woman?

Nope, just sensible

I do pay tax anyhoo. I cannot pay at source as I am not resident here. I really think that some men have this image of escorts as living out of a suitcase, flying under the radar and clinging onto the tails of the black economy. It is quite quaint. In England we have the Shadow Tax Economy unit, they tend to encourage you to pay your dues. I cannot speak for any of the other ladies but I fervently hope that they dont pay a cent as I think it's the biggest rip off outside of timeshares

I am off to rest my poor hungover head now.

Calm down Doris. Might as well wait and see if the ship is sinking before you jump
