So not sure whether this is true, but had the company of a delightful man who is very much in the know how so yes he did verify his story.

But informed that he knows first hand that Ms Sturgeon and Mr Cameron are planning on criminalising prostitution in the next year.  I said impossible more than likely a few years and he is adament that nope it will be done in the next year if not by Crimbo, apparently they are going to use the immigration  line as in trying to curb it. 

Apparently Ms Sturgeon has been collecting her information and data over the past 18 months and now that she is where she is she will be able to push it through.  Cameron will be using the stance that prostitution is costing the country millions.

Whether this is all true or not Ms Laura Lee is going to be double checking the info for me.  On top of that apparently in Scotland over the next few months they are going to be cracking down on hotels and apartments being used for immoral purposes and that surveillance on various hotels are already in place, the Jury Inn in Jamaica street being one.

So ladies lets see what happens. 

The tories made it clear they have no desire to criminalise clients and even if they do a uturn I can't see how it can be done in one year?

It took Salmond 5 months to have the drink drive limit changed and brought into action, trust me if they want too they can.

Holy shit. Thanks for the heads up, especially in regards to said hotel!

This is a case where I cannot see a bunch of Tory MPs voting to criminalise themselves.

If this is something the SNP want to insist on, step one would be implementing it in Scotland.

From what I understood that is what she is planning on doing, but Cameron is eager to do the same in England.

Everyone in this site we'll go out to the streets and protest!! 

(at least I would).

I'd assume it would be more likely to be implemented in Scotland, at least first. Can you imagine the hypocrisy of both houses of parliament voting to ban prostitution??

All I can say is lets wait and see, thank god I am retiring in a year and returning to mainstream employment.  If it does go through and it more than likely will in Scotland, England will definately follow suit at some point.

Illegal for the punters or the prossies ?

I believe this and I believe he could use the immigration line.

People are constantly moaning EVERYWHERE I GO (annoyingly!) about eastern european escorts or whatever over ignorant stuff so i can believe they'll use the immigration cop out...
