TV3: Sweet Rachel and LaBelleThatcher

[LaBelleThatcher]

..just playing catchup here..did i miss something, or were the girls pulled from Vincent Browne last night?....on tv3 player today that Honohan guy on it.../ thanks

Nothing showed up last night, it was only a possibility...the way it works is that pre-recorded segments have a lower priority and get used when there is a "slow news" day. It could show up any time.

The proposed legislation criminalises punting in the Republic. I punt in the Republic. Surely even you can figure out why this affects me.

I love your optimism Gord.

I mentioned jeans, leggings and tights-everyday wear for women. Rachel was wearing everyday wear. How does that reinforce the prostitute stereotype ?

Just FYI, tight jeans or leggings are a logistical nightmare for streetworkers (do the math! ), and hardly ever worn, so whatever stereotype Rachel was supposed to be "reinforcing" it can't have been that one.

If we have a similar process in the north, will any one be coming up to protest or take part, just asking like. And as it will directly affect Lilian, will she be more proactive. I am not picking on Lilian, just curious.

Its becoming anoying , who says I am not proactive , how would you know ?

Please dont assume things you dont have facts about , thank you .

Phew!!! Glad to hear that as I live and breath in my leggings.

My mind is just boggling at the kind of bondage Karma Sutra people would have to have running through their minds to associate tight jeans and leggings with street work AT ALL...

[Lilian]

Where do you see stupid mentioned anywhere in my post ?

stereotyping escorts is so stupid as to be unbelievable

I will ask you again. What do you do for sex industry in the Republic of Ireland?


By only saying here you do things and not proving what those stuff are , is like talking for talking like

And I am telling you again , I dont have to proof or tell anything !

Some love the spotlight , forgetting the shadows it creates , some are well aware of it .

I am not putting my ass or projects at risk cause you demand it .

Why is this tread still going?

In summary, 2 ladies from here held a small protest to try and get the Oiresachtas Committee studying Prostitution to listen to the views of actual sex-workers, and these two ladies were interviewed by the media, while maintaining their anonymity. The TV news slot lasted less than 2 minutes and included a very quick interview with the two women and some views of them holding up slogans reinforcing their message as a well as a view of them walking away focusing on, lets be honest, their arses.

What we get here is some bullshit about clothes.

The law in this country may be changed whereby a person paying for sex will be prosecuted, leading to otherwise upstanding citizens being made into criminals. This could have serious consequences for us and our families including embarrassment humiliation, ridicule, losing jobs being put on sex offenders registers. Judges in courts could fine people and give the money to Ruhama and some judges might make people walk up and down streets with signs saying things like 'I pay for sex'

Anyone, especially the two ladies already mentioned who stands up publicly against this tyranny deserve our thanks. So thank you Rachel and LaBelle
