Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith wants to reclassify Lap Dancing clubs as 'Sexual Encounter Places' as distinct from coffee bars etc. This will allow extra rules to be used to control them like take them off the High Street and residential areas. There has been a hue and cry over this notably from the Lap Dancing business. Well for once, I find myself agreeing with her. Of course, they are Sexual Encounter Places and we can do without our kids having to walk past them.
But then the woman gets completely daft. She wants to prosecute men who pick up prostitutes that are controlled by pimps. It doesn't matter if the men don't know the women are being pimped, they get done anyway. And are the women going to advertise the fact they they are 'owned' - of course not. And if the police who arrest these men know that the women are being pimped, then why not target the pimps? After all this would do more to fulfill the woman's desire to stop women being exploited.
Needless to say, in all this, she is being backed all the way by Harriet Harmam, our Minister for Equality & Women. (Blog - The British Cabinet, October 12th). And no doubt that wittering little muppet, Hazel Blears will soon be joining in with her brand of incomprehensible gobbledegook.
