The Worlds Oldest Profession
Fiona Mactaggart, the Home Office Minister - not to be confused with Charles Clarke, the Home Secretary - has launched yet another crackdown on the practice of kerbcrawling - yawn!. This crackdown will view all customers as criminals and all prostitutes as victims, no matter how many times they have apprehended by the police and dragged into court for soliciting.
Yet again this will have the effect of merely moving the problem from one established area to another. It will do nothing to stop young girls prostituting themselves as a way out of poverty or to maintain an expensive drug or alcohol habit. The pimps will still make money as will the drug dealers and customers will still be there, in numbers, eager to buy whatever is on offer.
I am heartily sick of the hypocritical attitude this country has towards anything to do with sex. For goodness sake sex is a fact of life, people engage in sexual activity all the time, and most of them enjoy it. Lets face it, none of us would be here if our parents hadn't been going at it like rabbits!
Prostitution is as old as humanity, but this government is arrogant enough to think that tweaking a regulation here and a bylaw there, will be enough to eradicate it entirely. Who are they trying to kid?
It is about time that this country engaged in a serious grown-up debate about sex, sexuality and sexual expression. They don't seem to have a problem with it in the Netherlands or in New Zealand!
