Default Lap Dancers go to Downing Street
Quote:
Lap-dancers are visiting Downing Street today in a bid to block plans to class them as part of the sex industry.
Two workers from the club chain Spearmint Rhino are representing several companies as they take a petition to Number 10 to protest at the proposals made by a backbench Labour MP.
Roberta Blackman-Woods, who represents Durham, wants to see the clubs reclassified as "sex encounter establishments", which would make it easier for local councils to refuse licences.
Spearmint Rhino spokeswoman Elaine Reed said: "The workers within our industry are absolutely horrified that the government are trying to rebrand us as part of the sex industry.
"It's quite clear we are not part of the sex industry, we never have been and we don't intend to be.
"Our clubs are controlled, there's no sexual activity going on."

They're not part of the sex industry? That's news to me! I always figured that lapdances were bought for a sexual kick (and sometimes a laugh, I guess) but mostly to get some partially naked girl writhing on a man's (or woman's if she's that way inclined) lap... whats not sexual about that?

As for no sexual activity going on, that's just laughable. The amount of women who work as lapdancers (and I'm not saying all of them do it) add to their earnings with "a little on the side" after the lapdance is probably at a higher percentage than those who don't.

So where exactly are we placing the line? I gather the staff in topless (or even see-though) bars and "exotic dancers" are not at present encompassed by the term "sex industry", but I'd say they are implicitly in the same bag as the quaintly-named lap-dancers.

Yes however we need something to spice up british politics. We can't continually rely on Peter Mandelson to look like the prize pillock all the time

Sounds like someone else I heard about who once said, "I did not have sex with that woman."

I guess it depends on what the definition of "is" is.
