Labour Rights for Sex Workers in Ealing

Your Rights

Sex workers demand the rights to work safety without fear of prosecution nor persecution from the good and the great like Jacqui Smith who is a self-righteous, feminist, socialist bigot who has been caught claiming expenses for her husband to watch adult movies at the tax payers expense while at the same time campaigning to increase prosecutions against sex workers.

A swarm of red umbrellas surrounded the Eros fountain in Piccadilly Circus on Wednesday, 1 April 2009, carried by sex workers campaigning against Jacqui Smith's new Policing and Crime Bill. "What the hell," they were saying in effect. Why can the Home Secretary put porn purchases on expenses, when those working in the sex industry face increasing levels of criminalisation?

Jacqui Smith's public humiliation comes at a time when she is already under investigation by the Parliamentary watchdog for claiming the share in the house she rents from her sister as her "main residence." The arrangement allows her to put the cost of running the family home in her constituency of Redditch, Worcestershire, on the public purse, on top of her £141,866-a-year salary.

The Policing and Crime Bill proposed by Jacqui Smith seeks to increase "police" prostitution. In doing so it will criminalise sex workers and their clients under the guise of making the industry a safer environment to work in. Safer for those working against their will, that is, as the Bill conflates sex slaves and sex workers, grouping together those working under force and those of their own will.

The plan is to transfer the burden of blame from the prostitutes onto the punters, making punters so afraid of punishment they will always ask a prostitute his or her provenance before getting down to business.

Sex workers are insulted at being grouped together with slaves, and the Bill will penalise anyone involved in the sex-for-sale market, be it on celluloid, in print or in person, via a lap dance or penetration which should include adult movies leaving her husband guilty of the proposed crimes!
