As for Littlejohn, well...
I read his remarks in the mail article and I’m horrified. The lives those women led might not be the lives we would choose, but who are we to judge? We don’t know what led them down the path to prostitution. We can sit in our comfortable homes and pass judgement, but really, should we? There but for the grace of God go I. And, if there wasn’t a market for paid sex, there would be no prostitutes (of any sex) would there, and no exploitation, would there?
I know, I’ll be castigated for looking at it simplistically, but these columnists who write what they write to make a name for themselves, do they ever consider they might have siblings, children, friends, etc, who could quite easily be led onto a path far from what they would wish for them to be on due to circumstances they could never have envisaged?
It’s so easy to make cruel remarks, much greater not to.
