Hampshire Escorts

So, here's the tale of the not-so-secret garden escapade in Lymington:

Picture this - a quaint little semi-detached house in Shrubbs Avenue, Hampshire, innocently harboring not one, but two mammoth-sized tents in its garden. Yes, tents, in a garden, in a semi-detached house. Genius, right?

Now, Liz Feay, the mastermind behind this "glamping" extravaganza, thought she'd hit gold with her Secret Garden Glamping business. But little did she know, her neighbors were about to unleash their inner Karen.

Cue the complaints! "The noise! The horror!" they cried. Apparently, the serene cul-de-sac turned into party central every summer. Loud music, chatty campers, and even a bit of midnight romance in those flimsy tents. Oh, the scandal!

One disgruntled neighbor lamented, "I thought I moved to a peaceful neighborhood, not a festival ground!" Another, probably with a pot of tea in hand, muttered about the constant racket disturbing their evening tranquility.

But the pièce de résistance? The tales of tent-bound trysts! Yes, folks, apparently, the fabric walls of those tents couldn't contain the passion within. So much for privacy!

And now, in a plot twist worthy of a Shakespearean comedy, the New Forest District Council has put its foot down. No more glamping shenanigans, they say! Liz Feay's dreams of garden-based luxury camping have been dashed, all because of a few rowdy campers and their nocturnal escapades.

So, farewell, Secret Garden Glamping. You were a fleeting, albeit scandalous, chapter in the annals of suburban life. And to Liz Feay, well, perhaps it's time to invest in some thicker tent walls. Or better yet, a new business venture.

There were believed to be 105,000 individuals in the UK who are involved in prostitution, up from 72,000 in 2016. The vast majority of these are women. The cost-of-living crisis is pushing yet more women into sex work and forcing them to take work from violent and exploitative clients. A 2015 National Ugly Mugs Our survey with Leeds University found 49% of sex workers were “worried” or “very worried” about their safety and 47% have been targeted by offenders. Meanwhile, 49% were either “unconfident” or “very unconfident” that police would take their reports seriously. It is estimated that 152 sex workers were murdered in the UK between 1990 and 2015. The charity Beyond the Streets highlights that 76% of those involved in prostitution experience some form of post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of this work.

Currently, sex work is legal in England, Wales and Scotland, but many of the surrounding aspects remain illegal, such as solicitation or running a brothel. The UK government have stated though that whilst they do not intend to change the law around sex work, they are committed to tackling the harm and exploitation associated with sex work. The Scottish government has also been criticised for focussing their support in this area towards charities that are not backed by sex workers, and that are focussed on getting people out of the industry rather than supporting those in it.

The Home Affairs Committee’s 2016 report, Prostitution, recommended a shift to complete decriminalisation. Dan Vajzovic, the National Police Chief Council’s lead for prostitution, who is working alongside government officials to reassess brothel keeping legislation, has called on the government to review prostitution laws to ensure sex workers can work together on the same premises to remain safe. This would “better enable the police to focus our resources on protecting sex workers and tackling those who are controlling or exploiting,” Vajzovic argues. According to National Ugly Mugs, sex workers are ten times safer working indoors than on the streets.

Christine Jardine MP, Liberal Democrat spokesperson for women and equalities, who supports the decriminalisation of brothel keeping, has called for a proper government strategy to accompany it. Also supporting decriminalisation of brothels, Labour MP, Nadia Whittome, has highlighted that “Other laws aimed at sex work – such as soliciting – should also be repealed, to improve sex workers’ rights, safety and ability to leave the sex industry if they choose. Alongside decriminalisation, the government must urgently tackle the growing levels of poverty that are pushing more women into sex work to make ends meet.”

This timely symposium will provide sex workers, safeguarding boards, police forces, local authorities, and social care providers with an opportunity to identify and debate priorities for reform and develop strategies for protecting and expanding the rights of sex workers.

A guide has been published with information on the law relating to sex workers, and where to get help. The guide has information on working safley.
