The English Collection of Prostitutes - which campaigns for the safety and decriminalisation of sex workers and has often linked universal credit to sex work - has given evidence to the group.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

the_bloke   17 #235 Posted July 23, 2019 I seem to remember lots of charities saying that student fees would force students into sex work when they were introduced by the Labour Party.  I've no idea if that ever came to fruition apart from some sensationalist headlines in the red tops.
