Come up and legalise me sometime

Article Abstract:

Ms Lindi St Clair runs a brothel in Earl's Court, London where she employs 12 prostitutes. As part of her campaign for legalisation, Ms St Clair founded the Corrective Party. She stood in a by-election at Richmond, Yorkshire in 1989 and others. She has been convicted and fined for brothel-keeping twice. Although she pays income tax and VAT, she says she has no economic or civil rights and is not allowed to claim business expenses, although her tax demand is 100,000 pounds sterling. Insurance and investment loans are difficult so legalisation would help.

How the Home Secretary could cut burglary at a stroke: legalise drugs

Article Abstract:

It is possible to argue that the prohibition of drugs in the UK is a key factor behind the high level of burglaries, muggings and assaults. Keeping drugs illegal also fuels organized crime and violent gangsterism. Research undertaken in the Netherlands, where a small number of coffee houses are allowed to sell limited amounts of hash, indicates that this has actually reduced the incidence of drug taking. In the long term, the key issue may be what form the legalization of drugs should take, rather than whether drugs should be legalized at all.

Turning a blind eye to a flourishing trade in saunas

Article Abstract:

The success of the attitude of officials in Edinburgh, Scotland, towards massage parlours and saunas and the call by three Chief Constables for legislation on prostitution to be changed could lead to changes in policy in other UK areas. According to an Edinburgh council official, brothels have not been legalised in Edinburgh, but entertainment licences are granted for saunas, and no questions are asked about activities. Prostitutes are drawn away from the streets and drug offences and crime are reduced.
