Boris Johnson Wants Shoppers To Stop Whores Advertising
March 13, 2010
London mayor Boris Johnson has suggested that shoppers should challenge newsagents who allow their windows to advertise hookers. Boris reckons that people did not realise that cards offering ‘massage services’ were really whores plying their trade, and that it often involved international organised crime.
This insight from Boris, (thanks Boris, we would never have known otherwise!!!) came on International Women’s Day where in a speech he said members of the public should play their part. “I think this is one of those areas where the public can have a huge influence,” Boris said. Supposedly the Met boys are also working hard to curb this seedy wave of International crime, officers have arrested several people caught distributing cards and thousands of cards have been cleared away.
But Sarah Walker from the International Prostitutes Collective criticised the mayor’s plans, saying, “It’s outrageous that Boris Johnson is using International Woman’s Day to attack prostitutes. Banning women from putting cards in windows will drive them out of premises on to the streets, which is 10 times worse.”
