I didnt mean it negatively at all, i apologise if it came across that way i know times are fucking hard right now for people.

 I dont know anyone whos been fined for working but if youknow of  a sex worker outreach programme in your area it might be worth reaching out to them and they might know if the police are cracking down on sex workers who are still working.

Yes. I think it depends on where in the country you are. In London I think you will be ok.
Someone I use to do 3 somes with was fined £200 for an outcall at a regulars house. He was fined too. A neighbour snitched and called the Police.
This was greater Manchester 5 days ago.
The Police take your details and if you are caught again the fine is bigger. Not sure how much but I think I read it was somewhere near £600.

Some people have got a lot of time in their hands or are just spiteful human beings. Calling the police even on their neighbours that's abit OTT.

This is alarming.

Who was fined, the Escort?
How did they discover who she was, did they arrive at the door there and then?-within minutes of the Neighbour snitching? 🤔

Ahem.

They probably didn't - it doesn't matter who she was, after all. It only matters that she doesn't live in that house, and was obviously caught out too quickly to come up with a plausible story.

Also bear in mind we don't know how many other people this bloke has had round. She could have just been the last straw for the saddo over the road with nothing better to do.

I'd say it depends on what the neighbours done. I wouldn't report a solo visitor but I'm so pissed off with lockdown right now that I would probably report a house party or similar. As Amy said, it could have been the straw that broke the camel's back.

It was Cheadle last Friday night. They were both fined. It was some old nasty women who lived next door to the guy that called the police.  To be honest I wouldn't worry as the Police are only looking out for large house parties. I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else.

I reported a incident with a client to the police they tried
To fine me. I explained I had to pay my rent and was struggling.
I think he felt sorry for me and let me off

I'm glad they let you off! This is what worries me at the moment, so many dodgy creeps coming out the woodwork because they believe we don't have the ability to go to the police because of fines etc. It would be a very worrying precedent if forces were fining women for reporting crimes committed against them. Most of the country is still working during this lockdown, so sex workers need to be as well.

Not quite sure about the logic of using the word 'need' there.

But most of the country or lets say some there is safety put in place at work with screens and social distancing being enforced. Sex work there is none of that put in place. So cannot really compare the 2 situations. Even dentists will be close but have all PPE on to protect. Sex workers have none of this.

No but they do have rent and bills to pay just like other workers. That's a need for most! Not sure what's illogical about that!
You'll be surprised how many people are still going to work in non key worker jobs with bugger all protection. I'd feel more exposed working in the Range or somewhere with just a mask for protection exposed to hundreds of customers a day than seeing a few people a week as a sex worker.
I'm fortunate enough to not have to work right now but there should be zero judgement on those who have to.

You're not sure why sex workers might need to work to pay their rent and bills and feed themselves and their families if they can't access any (or only very limited) financial support? I'm surprised by that - it's pretty basic stuff and really not that difficult for most people to grasp.

Or is this the time honoured method of expressing disapproval of something by pretending not to understand it; (my mother is the queen of this passive aggressive crap)? If so, give it a rest.

EDIT: cross posted with SW, and be assured that any judgemental posts will be (and have been) removed :)

That’s disgusting Chanell, sorry you had that experience. I’ve had to report some incidents in the past year and they didn’t ask me anything about lockdown or why I am working, would have thought they’d rather not make us even more reluctant to report incidents due to fear of being fined!
