Scootray Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Apparently 2 more women have been reported missing in Ipswich on top of the 3 bodies already found...BBC NEWS | England | Suffolk | Fifth prostitute reported missingBit creepy echos of the Yorkshire Ripper murders... but without the gore.The odd thing is, they weren't sexually assaulted. So this guy must just have some kind of grudge with prostitutes or he just sees them as an easier target to kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim.. Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 The Daily Mirror seem to be pointing the finger at some creepy Christian guy they refer to as 'Uncle' who prefers not to have sex with the girls but drive them around town trying to score drugs for them.Perhaps he's on a mission from God to clean up the streets.

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Lots of parallels w/Peter Sutcliffe here, someone with a grudge against working girls as if they didn't have enough shit to cope with.Still, new Macabre concept LP out soon.

Metarie Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 hehe, cute On a more serious note, is there actually a reason why brothels aren't legalised? Surely it's better to have a few houses of ill repute than entire streets worth of 'red light district', in the badly lit, scummy as fuck ends of town. Is it any wonder that prostitutes are targetted so often? Just because they're allowed to go about their business in certain areas of town doesn't mean it's any safer for them.

The NIMBY's would have a field day, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NIMBY's would have a field day, though.that's the thing that amuses me though, on the ch4 news tonight a reporter said that the streets in Ipswich where most of the girls are working (i believe it's a red light area too) are quiet, nondescript residential streets. If I lived there I'd have no problem living near to a properly licensed brothel with regular police checks and security for the girls compared to having my kids seeing discarded condoms on their front step or worse, the oh-so-ladylike 'squat and wipe'. Fuck it, get rid of the hooker/prostitute label and bring back courtensans a la The Moulin Rouge. Corsets, absinthe and consumption, hurrah!

Rachie Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Note on the BBC website when it links to "how should we tackle prostitution/should we legalise it" type content, it still goes to the story of how Aberdeen made a "tolerance zone".One of the few smart things the council has done - especially making it in a more industrialised zone as opposed to a residential area.Legalised brothels could also make it easier to keep checks on the health of the girls too.

Metarie Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I totally disagree, the red light area in Aberdeen was exactly what I had in mind when I said these things are usually in the badly lit, scummy areas. I don't make a habit of being in that area, but driving back from the beach or Asda (especially when it's dark at 4pm) you can't help but notice how shady these areas are. Not to mention that the 'tolerance zone' is mere minutes from the high rise flats that have an appallingly high amount of domestic violence/drug abuse/murder.The problem is that the punters simply wouldn't go to well lit, monitored areas because they're worried about being caught out. It's not a situation that's going to be easily sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a situation that's going to be easily sorted.A legalised brothel in a residential area would devalue surrounding properties too. There'd be uproar.Thinking about it brought this story to mind: The Scotsman - Scotland - Brothel that drove out neighbours is closed by an ASBO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metarie Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 But surely having hookers walking around your area doesn't do much for property value either. I'm just saying, given the choice I know what I'd prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
