I just saw this on BBC web.
There is a line near the bottom :"If you've got pornography here now, you're going to have prostitution next, you're going to have drugs. In a residential area? No way - no way."
This is so typical of the stupidity in this world. Of course we don't want prostitution or drugs in any residential area. But equating porn with them is ridiculous. I reckon there is as much drug-taking in modelling, sport and music as there may be in porn. But I bet he wouldn't mind a football player moving into the street.
What's wrong with either pornography or prostitution ?- well, I guess porn is boring, but thats no reason to ban it, and what business is it of the State's to interfere in the private lives of consenting adults.
A good book about sex work is Laura Maria Agustin's "Sex at the Margins - Migration,Labour,Markets and the Rescue Industry (Zed Books).
Aside from being anti democratic, anti prostitution laes will just drive women into the hands of pimps or working in dangerous areas, but I suppose that is just what bigoted moralists want as a punishment for "sin".

Thats very sad.
I would love to live on that street :P
Id live in the street I have nothing against the making of the porn films as long as the neighbours and people dont see any thing. I was thinking can i go and watch the films being made.
