This is tragic.

Also in this short clip they refer to the men who kidnap but no reference to then men who visit these ‘brothels’ in the U.K.

Yes I wondered the same. We seem to know more about the supply of this than the demand. I don’t think I know any men who’d visit a sex worker, who on earth are they all who fuel this demand?!

TheBoreOfHabilon · 24/01/2022 19:41

Who fuels the demand? My ex husband, for one. On the surface, a decent family man, a doting father, a hard-working small business owner, do anything for anyone, always making people laugh, generous, blah de blah.

But. A narcissistic, self-entitled, cvnt who wants to have sex with 20 something, very slim women (one of whom was Romanian, although apparently 'independent', although would strangely travel around the UK often - a clear sign she is being controlled by a gang).

They are hidden in plain sight, these men.

They're not going to tell you are they.

The prostitution industry in the UK rakes in more annual income than cinema does.

I was doing some research on prostitution once and when I told men, friends of DH etc. lots of them told me stories about having used prostitutes. I was pretty shocked and surprised at how many and that I would never have known if I hadn't been researching this (and they clearly wanted to share...). It has definitely changed the way I feel about those men.

Well that’s a depressing stat.

Sometimes I wish I was attracted to women then I could ditch men.

I’m pretty horrified by some people I know and their attitude to going to Amsterdam for stags. So grim. Won’t call them friends as I’ve little time for them.

@WellThatsMeScrewed

Yes i saw this, so tragic,, what got me though was the total lack of Police numbers/resources to crack down on it.

All very well having a Modern Slavery Bill but a bit useless if there is no enforcement.

I believe we need biometric ID cards in this country, would assist in illegal working fraud and slavery atm anyone can be whoever they want to be.
