Government prostitution inquiry imminent: deadline 18th Feb

[Warwick]

"Operation Homeless" I can't believe they called it that, perhaps something got lost in translation, anyway I took a look and it really does seem to undermine the notion that the "Nordic model" doesn't victimise the SP, If like me you hadn't heard of this before well it's a tactic used by the Norwegian Police, they issue blunt warnings to those providing prostitutes with a place to work, landlords and even hotel owners are told that they will be regarded as Pimps and prosecuted unless they evict the wg.

It's real enough, and hardly subtle. Operasjon Husløs is the official name which translates on my version of google translate exactly as operation homeless. Put that into search and lots of links will appear. Here's one to get you started.

Obviously if you can read Norwegian it's easier to understand, but even plugging it into a translator is very revealing. People who think that sort of behaviour couldn't migrate to the UK are kidding themselves in my opinion.

I gather from various links that there was quite a lot of discussion in Norwegian legal circles about the title of the operation targeting prostitutes, but the police just carried on regardless.

I tried various ways including on forums to get people to take this threat seriously, but mostly what I got was ridicule. That's why I've had it with UKpunting (and UKescorting) especially because of the way they lied to discredit me.

As a thought provoking addendum, and to help convince a few of the sceptics who think we should all sit back and do nothing. I thought the link below might interest some as an example of stupid politics and how crazy legislation can be introduced by whipping up a bit of hysteria - just as is happening now with the Nordic model. I have to say as a disclaimer that I'm not into dope at all. Most of the people I know who indulge are lazy, listless, lack ambition and don't seem to be capable of getting out of bed until mid afternoon. But I have no objections to them using it if they really want to. Why prohibit something that other people like doing if it doesn't affect those who don't, at all?
