Ash Regan's #Unbuyable bill - today in the Scottish Parliament

[OhBuggerandArse]

It's all go today in Scotland. Link to Scottish Parliament TV here for anyone who wants to watch once it gets started. Cons and Labour will support, Lib Dems, Greens and the SNP will oppose, despite the fact that's been SNP party policy for YEARS. I am hoping against hope that more SNP MSPs will rebel than the three who have already indicated.

Chris should have a chat with the Scottish Ministers' KC. They'd get along like a house on fire based on today's performance.

I'm glad that Ash Regan's bill has failed. That's because I know what has happened in Northern Ireland since 2015 when the Nordic Model was introduced there. I know what has happened in the Irish Republic since 2017 when the Nordic Model was introduced there.

About a year ago the official review of the 2017 law change in Ireland was published. There's just as much prostitution in Ireland today as there was before 2017. A few men have been fined for paying for sex and lots of women have been imprisoned for trying to work together for safety. Funds to help women to exit have not materialised.
