(not satire – it’s the UK today!)
Humberside Police have said they are seeing an increase in prostitution – with young mothers turning to selling their bodies for the first time in order to feed and clothe their children.
Here’s a direct quote from PC Lorraine Summerfield from Humberside Police:
Some of these girls are desperate to feed and clothe their children and they are going out to do that, which is really sad.
The number of girls working had reduced but, recently, it has flared up again and it is because new girls are going out, who have never done it before.
There have been a lot more who have come to it recently later in life because they are so desperate for cash. They don’t want to commit crime so they are selling themselves because it is an easy way to make money and feed their family.
OK – so that’s what Osborne, Cameron and Clegg meant when they said work should pay:
Prostitution for our nation’s young mothers.
.
You can read the article the quote is taken from here in local newspaper The Hull and East Riding Mail:
Mums ‘selling sex to feed their children as benefit cuts hit Hull’s poorest’

They learn by example – their elected politicians prostitute themselves all the time.

the verminous scum are causing damage that will last for generations, infecting our society with their greed. this is an inhuman abuse of the most fundamental of human instincts, to protect the young. i can’t express in words my disgust and rage that we seem to be powerless to stop these crimes.
pure absolute low filth and the worst kind of criminals.

Looks at body…oddly it is still here despite apparently having sold it hundreds of times
Language matters, as sex workers we face enough prejudice and stigma without ideas such as selling out bodies, or being pitiful victims being encouraged.

Good work Tom! It’s an important issue and should be highlighted… if only there was a way of making it hit our politicians harder. Giving your source makes all the difference. Sadly the same story has probably been true for hundreds of years, and all across the world.

I think it’s extremely important that you’ve brought this matter to light. People need to be aware of how this government is affecting the most vulnerable.

You are absolutely right. But the question is this: what do those on the Left intend to do about it? What type of movement can meaningfully challenge the policies of the current government? The Labour Party, it is quite clear, has no intention of challenging the austerity consensus of the Westminster elite; so who will? Who will stand up for the voiceless?

Indeed, what DO those on the Left intend to do about it? Your comment here is a paraphrase of something I posted earlier today on another website under ‘comments’. I received short shrift from the moderator who appeared to think that your/my comments carried no weight at all. He was unable to suggest a valid alternative.
