The house of ill repute, or how to have a second income Options

[lordtup]

So not only did we have a brothel in our back yard but I doubt any Newbury residents were aware of it's existence ( poor PR there me feels )

The point I wish to raise , even though I am going to get pilloried for it , is why such a harsh sentence ? Unless I have missed something they where obviously providing a service that was well patronised , the "girls were not minors or used against their will , so what is the crime apart from an outdated Victorian attitude to such things .
I know we all leap to the moral high ground at the mere mention of such activities but by virtue of them being popular surely poses the question about them being decriminalized .

If all and sundry wish to take issue with me over this posting I am quite prepared to hide behind the wall till the flack subsides , but I will expect a valid argument based on legal precedent not moral outrage .
