More New Labour fuckwittery:

Commons Leader Harriet Harman has told the BBC she wants the law to be changed to make it illegal to pay for sex.

She said ministers were to look at how Sweden brought in such a law, and said a "big debate" was needed in the UK.

It would counter international human trafficking which sees girls bought and sold by criminals in the UK, she added.

Buying or selling sex is legal, but many activities related to prostitution such as kerb crawling, brothel keeping, pimping and soliciting are not.

**New Labour have got it wrong again, every and I mean every attempt to ban the worlds oldest trade has failed. Fallen on its arse, died a death and otherwise been a complete waste of time on the part of the moral crusaders, the police, the courts and even the prisons who have to find extra places for "moral" criminals.

Harperson, sorry Harman is wrong. A ban won't work, can not work and every ban ever brought in has failed. It also doesn't help when time after time the very powers who push these laws through get caught up in sex stories, of which there have been far to many over the years to bother listing here.

Rather than going after people smugglers, yet again they are going to pick the easy target the punter. Sure they will catch some, but they won't stop the trade. This will fail in the same way that the so called ban on homosexuality failed.

Still the government fresh from losing all our data has to be seen doing something.

Maybe if this shower of shit that passes for a government was serious about helping prostitutes, then they would be trying to get them to work out in the open where they would be in less danger, both physical danger from punters and of exploitation by pimps and criminals.

Of course that would require some morality and willpower, rather than a knee jerk reaction. Something that our unelected coward of a PM lacks, along with depth perception.
