The law on paid for sex in the UK is a mess of hypocrisies and compromises that no government wants to address. While prostitution itself is legal, almost any activity around it is criminalised.
Whilst we recognise that exploitation and organised crime does occur in this area, far more often the people involved in it are treating it as a lifestyle choice or a proper business activity that they want to run in a legitimate and beneficial manner. We think they should be able to.
