Paying for sex with prostitutes who are controlled by pimps is set to become a criminal offence, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith is expected to announce.
She will also say that people who knowingly pay illegally trafficked women for sex could face rape charges.

I've only just picked up on this (although I did hear a rather one-sided 'debate' on the wireless yesterday)...
What on Earth are they thinking?
They are never going to stop prostitution, it is as we all know the worlds's oldest profession. Making the laws that govern it even more complex and absurd than they are today will only make things worse.
It won't ever go away, you can't un-invent it any more than you can un-invent nuclear weapons or drugs.
The only sensible solution for controlling it, ensuring the health of the workers and customers and at the same time remove the trafficking problem is to legalise it.

Waiting outside the Cash n Carry for wife and her friend I was listening to Wummun's Hour ~ they had that Jaqui Smith on there defending this piece of crap legislation. That woman has an answer to everything except the real questions. Also why can she not find a single T in any word? cussing:

Lap dance laws 'to be tightened'
Jacqui Smith has told the BBC that the government will take action to tighten licensing laws for lap-dancing clubs.
It has been consulting on whether they should be kept in the same category as pubs and cafes, or be put in that shared by sex shops and peep shows.
More shite from Jacqui (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/7753456.stm)
I wonder if she has actually ever had a shag herself - it seems unlikely from the look of her. Perhaps that is why she is so upset that anybody else should be actually 'doing it'...
