    Cant see how it is relevant to how PPC's operate nor why you think the Government are wrong in debating this and not PPC's? As far as scam's go PPC's are well down the pecking order.

    Totally agree. Yet more pointless rabble rousing from him. I'm sure he'll burst a blood vessel before long!

    Slow day, I guess - Prankster hasn't blogged anything for him to link. :cool:

    How can they make prostitution legal it has never been illegal?

    Anyone is free to prostitute themselves, it is the way they or others on their behalf do it that CAN make it illegal.

    Cant see how it is relevant to how PPC's operate nor why you think the Government are wrong in debating this and not PPC's? As far as scam's go PPC's are well down the pecking order.

    Lets not forget it was the Government who made it easier for the PPC's to carry out their trade.

    POINT MISSED ..... If they can make it legal on a whim, what is happening to the PPC scam , at least Dolly Dee got the point ?

    You are picking up bad habits from that "other bod" on here who no doubt will add his usual rubbish.

    Plenty of things to do on here today, and rest assured when the prankster posts, you will be the first to know ... OK YA

    Do we actually have a government at the moment? The way things are, it feels like we're a ship without a rudder (and a captain hiding in his cabin as he knows he has to walk the plank).

    POINT MISSED

    I don't post much now but posted yesterday as I could not see the relevance, and it was incorrect in the fact of the legality of the criminality of prostitution.

    " POINT MISSED" seeing you finished with a question mark, well yes you do seem to have missed the point!

    The Government is not making prostitution legal as it has NEVER been illegal FIRST [STRIKE]POINT[/STRIKE] FACT!

    The Government are considering ways to make it legal to tout for business. It is actually a good thing in my opinion, hopefully it will stop the pimps from living off immoral earnings.

    I don't think any man or woman turns to prostitution on a whim it is usually out of desperation or need. The fact that unsavory people can make money from these people and the Government trying to stop that, and to allow the girls and boys themselves a legal way to tout for business is a good thing is it not?

    I can sense you're dislike for PPC's and you're enthusiastic fight against their business ways. Which in fact if done correctly is perfectly legal, and not considered to be a scam. However there is absolutely no relevance to a decision any Government may make regarding making soliciting or offering a sexual service legal in certain circumstances, to that of anything in the business model of a PPC.

    Eventually the Government may get around to making changes into the way PPC's operate, but as The Slithy Tove says at the moment we don't seem to have a Government they are all too busy removing the knives from their backs and fighting among themselves.

    Keep up the fight against PPC's but keep it relevant!

    Roger over and out!;) Back to not posting much!

    Oh dear ?
    I could not care less about sex workers whether its legal or not

    This is very simply a comparison as
    The Committee says the Home Office should immediately change existing legislation so that soliciting is no longer an offence

    In the case of private parking, government pointed to April for a reply to the petition. It's now July with no hint they are remotely interested

    That is the comparison

    And as far as the government, yes the frontliners are as Slithy says
    "The way things are, it feels like we're a ship without a rudder (and a captain hiding in his cabin as he knows he has to walk the plank)."


    But the backroom boys continue with business as usual and one of their issues is to stop these PPC's from scamming motorists up and down the country
