I had the opportunity of meeting with Scotpep. Scotpep were an outreach organisation for prostitutes in Scotland. Alas their small funding was removed, and probably given as part of a huge funding to the anti prostitution brigade to peddle their lies. Now Scotpep is a campaigning organisation for the rights of sex workers. One wonders what a transformation to the lives of under privileged sex workers would have been if all the resources given to the anti organisation had been available to them. Glasgow city council has given 21 million to the stop prostitution now campaign, and they have no idea where the money has been spent. A Freedom of Information request was made to them, and all that came back was we have no records. What a fucking cover up.
I spent 90 minutes with the wonderful lady Ruth Morgan Thomas. She is an ex prostitute and was very enlightening on the way prostitutes work, the networks amongst different foreign workers and especially the Thai women. She was also enlightening on the underhand way this major change to the Scottish police bill has been made at the last minute, so precluding all proper debate and evidence gathering. Scottish democracy is in real danger.
