Let's go back on thread.

Is there really a market in Accy for young men to spend £10pds a time to obtain a close-up view of a gyrating, naked (and no doubt tattooed) bottom of a young lady from some east european country?

I think not. The only way this enterprise can be a successful one is to appeal to outside punters to visit the town in the form of a stag night group, get drunk in one of Accy's dubious drinking holes, proceed to the said venue and in the process start differences of opinion invariably leading to fisticuffs and the intervention of Lancashire's finest.

That in itself will go further to distorting police priorities (it is already bad enough that 40% of all uniformed policing time is spent on controlling friday and saturday night town centre drinking escapades). That will mean additional policing costs, resources directed away from what should be higher priorities (such as stealing lead from church roofs), higher insurance costs and longer waiting times should you require emergency treatment on a weekend night.

That's all on top of which, as a taxpayer, you are already paying for this nonsense. Some 15 or 20 years ago these places first popped up in London aimed at clientele with lots of money to burn. Those people were bankers and their customers and the aim was to keep 'em entertained and sign 'em up to the latest financial scam. The cost of that has now come home and we are all paying dearly.
