JonnyM 11 28 Dec Read it more carefully: 1 A person A commits an offence ifβ a A makes or promises payment for the sexual services of a prostitute B , b a third person C has engaged in exploitative conduct of a kind likely to induce or encourage B to provide the sexual services for which A has made or promised payment, and c C engaged in that conduct for or in the expectation of gain for C or another person apart from A or B.
OP Wedle 15 28 Dec Link to a interesting blog I read recently: The Prostitution of Poland From Eastern Europe Watch: One of the most depressing features of contemporary life is how money power and consumer values dominate most aspects of human existence. And in the process has reduced life to a constant form of prostitution or, in the neoliberal buzzword term, "selling yourself". The disintegration of Polish culture under the neoliberal experiment unleashed by the doctrinaire Balcerowicz back in and reinforced since has made a mockery of the notion of a Catholic Nation.
Only money and a crude materialism now prevail. That is shown in the way Polish women are now regarded as commodities in the brave new world of an unfettered free market. When I first went to Poland in , the three questions one was asked on a persistent basis were, 1 Why are you in the Poland? I don't know what strict liability means however I guess that the sentence in brackets is an explanaition but is it really crucial here?
The point is that the points you quoted above refer to the case when a woman is forced to prostitution. I understand that it puts a fear on potential "clients" because they can not be sure if a woman is not forced to do it.
None the less it doesn't prove your point about prostitution not being legal in Great Britain now and before. Good to see things have moved on, or have they. So I have finally encountered someone who actually fraternises with syphlytic tarts.
