The female leader of the British House of Commons is breathing fire and brimstone. Appalled by the high rate of prostitution and female trafficking for sex in Britain, she is advocating legislation forbidding the buying of sex in that country.
But first, they are going to learn from Sweden. In that country, it is illegal to buy sex, but legal to sell. (Oxymoron)
Yet has it stopped prostitution there? Decidedly no!
The ancient practice of prostitution is prohibited in many lands. Yet it has not led to a decline in the trade. One British prostitute has already started kicking against the proposed move, which she says violates her right.
According to her, she would not have been able to pay her taxes without selling her body. In fact, one Chinese woman who had had sex with over 100 men boasted that she has a right to use her body as she likes. (Freedom)
Elsewhere in SE Asian countries like Thailand, prostitution is a major source of income.
So is the British lawmaker wasting her time? Are we soon to stop seeing half-naked commercial sex workers in dark street corners and brothels soliciting for customers? Is female trafficking about to end?
Watch out: The sun will soon rise in Britain!
