This is just further supports of my position on legalized safe prostitution in every state and also the stupidity of marriage regardless of gender.

I agree that "real" abuse is an awful fact. No one should stay in a abusive relationship. It is easier to not get in one in the first place.

An odd place, that UK?

Jail a man for yelling at his wife, but protect pedophiles?

The UK .gov covers up an protects child rapists for decades and now wants to take away their citizens rights to protect the commonwealth from evil doers.

The UK has a considerable number of Nanny State politicians.

The UK has business cards in phone boxes and taxi cabs and the usual massage parlors as well as "stroll" areas.

A lot of censorship in the UK.
Many books available here in the USA are not published in the UK due to lawsuit threats.
$cientology is a good example of this, books published here critical of $cientology are not published in the UK.

They still have phone booths? I haven't seen
one here in 15 years. I haven't see a pay phone
is 5 years. Airports still have some, I think.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
