Leeds City Council “opening a second managed prostitution zone” in East Leeds

Summerdayshaze · 2020-09-23T14:26:42+00:00

According to Julie Bindel on Twitter, a Labour councillor has confirmed the rumours. Apparently its because the independent review was so positive and will take some heat off Holbeck if the trade can dilute to another zone as well!!! Wtf??? Crossgates East Leeds apparently.

Have you not seen the BBC series *@slipperywhensparticus*? Grim doesn't cover it. It's scandalous.

Ok Winston's has been renamed

beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11775927/filing-history
Only one person named as director and manager, go to link I dont want to get in trouble for naming him.
And apparently its dissolved now, unless they do that every year? I dont have time to chase it up now.

Since when has all this been legal? What the fuck Leeds?

Gurufloof · 24/09/2020 16:28

I'm sure it would be easy to find out who owns it though

I did quite some time ago, and the names matched but I couldn't get photos to prove it was the same person. Can't even remember the name now, but there was a police officer with the same name as the alleged owner of Winston's.
I think the name I found matched with a London address, but the knocking shop is registered to withernsea and other anomalies came up and sat the time I decided to quit before I gave myself a headache.

[quote Butterer]@Anordinarymum I used to work just by there.

One of the Leeds councillors, now alder(wo)man was my boss. She's still running a MH charity supporting vulnerable people, and problematic stuff in the area like Winston's was Never Mentioned.

We also didn't talk about her voting in the bedroom tax, or wanting to charge mental health service users on benefits for community groups and support. Or the possible conflict between her interests as councillor and her interests as a manager.[/quote]
There has been a lot of talk regarding that disgusting place. Do you remember a few years back when they got busted and all the trafficked girls were removed from the premises ?

And they still operate ! It beggars belief. Very fishy.

@thebigX

Yet again more rumours spread and people jump on the band wagon. Leeds council does get a lot of flack on here when there are so many worse councils. Yes sex work is horrible and a major problem but at least Leeds were looking to try do something about it and try and make it safe for the people who won't stop being prostitutes. Maybe it's time to look at your own councils policy's. Ffs.

No they were not. If they wanted it to be safe for those girls they would not have closed the parlours down.

Leeds city council has no tolerance, and by moving those girls to those areas they are quite literally closing the door on them and throwing away the key

HairyRrug · 24/09/2020 10:26

There's the issue. " people who won't stop being prostitutes". Those bloody women causing the city problems. What can we good men of the council do about them? If they took their blinkers off they'd maybe see it was a demand problem caused by men.

Langsdestiny · 24/09/2020 07:53

Yes we cant possibly have a view on Leeds and other councils at the same time.

TheQueef · 24/09/2020 07:49

@thebigX what you burbling on about? Won't stop being prostitutes? Safe?
Go and get some weetabix and then report your own post.

Sex work is real work!

Prostitution if it ever were a real job would not be allowed. The sheer weight of PPE would render the women unable to move and the men unable to touch them. The cost of PPE would be unviable when you get 5 quid for a blow job, how would that even work with PPE?

And as usual when the men using the women are asked if it would be a good job, with prospects for their wife, daughter, sister, mum, it suddenly becomes a different matter because of course their female relatives would never have to do such a job.

Thanks for the update @MonkeyPuddle...but it’s got me all riled up again about Holbeck so I think I’ll still drop Hillary a line!

@TheJessicaClarke

Sex work is real work!

Nobody is talking about it being a holiday activity. The focus is on why men would need a second area of town (let alone a first) to rent orifices.

Luckily it appears that there's not going to be a second one, so they will just have to use one area of town for buying bodies.
