Simply stick to the practicalities rather than the moral issue if possible. Banning prostitution simply cannot work (never has), simply criminalises both parties for daring to have sex for money (gosh, horror!) and leaves both working girls and punters exposed to risk of disease and physical violence. Just keep your cool and don't get provoked.

"Julie has written investigative features on international prostitution, sex tourism in Jamaica, stalking and harassment, transsexualism, being a lesbian schoolgirl, the beauty industry and serial killers. For a bit of light relief she has written on the death of the hostess trolley, female orchestra conductors, fancying Camilla Parker Bowles and hating vegetarians."


Oh dear god that sounds scary...best of luck mwah ha ha ah ha

Also, simply pointing out that almost all the "evils" of prostitution are actually CAUSED BY its criminalisation, rather than the evils WARRANTING its criminalisation. Same with drugs, almost all of the major problems associated with drug use are pretty clearly a direct consequence of it being unlawful. If any Government had the guts to legalise drug use (and I mean fully legalise, not just tolerate, but have the likes of heroin available in Boots or Superdrug etc) the vast majority of undesirable consequences would be eliminated overnight. Not to say I approve of or advocate drug use but simply that criminalising it makes a fraught situation infinitely more serious. Just a couple of thoughts.

Try not to sound to "rude girl", and don't blame it on the class system ;-)


You'll be fine, just don't let her wind you up, which she will probably try to do. She will probably also go in there believing that she is more intelligent than you are... Letting her believe this for a while could work to your advantage!

Good call! Do an Ali Special...rope-a-dope

Oh goody! Something worth watching on the telly. Best of luck Chavtastic and keep your cool. Keef has offered what I think is some good advice so don't go in all guns blazing, keep your powder dry and then when you feel the time is right, let her have it right between the eyes. You go girl.

Basically have a few well rehearsed lines and try not to get too flustered.

I know I hate it when politicians trot out rehearsed lines rather than address the question, but you might find them a useful fallback if she keeps trying to shift your position to get you off balance.

Stay calm and enjoy it basically.


I may have to watch this one.

I agree with the comments to avoid the emotional. Challenge the morality - who are they (mainstream Politicians) to impose a set of moral values on anybody else? - given the current questionable activities of both Conservative and Labour politicians.


Trafficing will be thrown at you. Yes it is terrible, but are the majority of Prostitutes trafficed? I suggest not, some are and that is awful - but hit the trafiicers not the Prostitutes and the not the clients. This generalisation is convenient way of trying to generate public support for what is essentially a political move.


Many sectors have bad sides - thousands of people are killed on the road - are we going to criminalise driving?


Also - how many MPs pay for sex I wonder? Are they really going to criminalise themselves?


Prostitution - legalise it, regulate it, tax it. Protect the Prostitutes, take those who abuse Prostitute women through the courts and put them away for a long time, but for gods sake lets get away from this bizzare Victorian hypocrisy.

Hear, hear, old chap! Well said.

I'm sorry, but don't you have young kids at school? How the hell do they cope with their mother's relentless pursuit of fame and boasting about being a hooker on national tv, and the newspapers, I have looked on the internet and you have been on tv no less than 5 or 6 different programmes boasting about how clever you are, how much money you make and wouldn't for the life of you ever get a proper day job as your'e just way to clever for that and make way too much money! Prancing about naked, all I can think of about is your poor kids!!

Maximay, I think you have gor me mixed up with your mum.

I think the mum joke went out about 3 years ago. Not difficult to do the research, been on Kilroy boasting, been on Soho Stories, been on British sex, please feel free to check up on the internet, wasn't that hard to find it all, go on prove me wrong then if I'm talking Crap, and thats even before mentioning the newspapers!

Spot on Michael. Well said.

Shooting the messenger a bit aren't you maximay.

CWALD's a self confessed politician these days and has certain issues that are close to home for her; wouldn't you take up soap boxing opportunities if you wanted to discuss/debate and air them.


You have a legitimate complaint, but I suggest you take it up with auntie beeb re why they waste(d) the taxpayers' money on sh!te like Kilroy ;-)

    • Does anyone know when the next SNT meeting is? I am fed up with my son being mugged on East Dulwich Grove! 
    • The issue must be everywhere at the moment. I was visiting a friend last week in Bermondsey, think we were walking  down Linton Rd & we dodged 7 dog poos. It was disgusting. 
    • Thanks for your message — I actually took the time to look into what CityHive does before posting my original comment, and I’d encourage anyone with questions to do the same. Yes, the Companies House filings are overdue — but from what I’ve gathered, this seems likely to be an accountant or admin issue, not some sign of ill intent. A lot of small, community-based organisations face challenges keeping up with formalities, especially when they’re focused on immediate needs like food distribution. Let’s not forget CityHive is a not-for-profit, volunteer-powered CIC — not a corporate machine. As for the directors, people stepping down or being replaced is often about capacity or commitment — which is completely normal in the voluntary and community sector. New directors are sometimes appointed when others can no longer give the time. It doesn’t automatically mean bad governance — it just means people’s circumstances change. CityHive’s actual work speaks volumes. They buy most of the food they distribute — fresh produce, essential groceries, and shelf-stable items — and then deliver it to food banks, soup kitchens, and community projects across London. The food doesn’t stay with CityHive — it goes out to local food hubs, and from there, directly to people who need it most. And while yes, there may be a few paid staff handling logistics or admin, there’s a huge volunteer effort behind the scenes that often goes unseen. Regular people giving their time to drive vans, sort donations, load pallets, pack food parcels — that’s what keeps things running. And when people don’t volunteer? Those same tasks still need to be done — which means they have to be paid for. Otherwise, the whole thing grinds to a halt. As the need grows, organisations like CityHive will inevitably need more support — both in people and funding. But the bigger issue here isn’t one small CIC trying to make ends meet. The real issue is the society we live in — and a government that isn’t playing its part in eradicating poverty. If it were, organisations like CityHive, The Felix Project, City Harvest, FareShare, and the Trussell Trust wouldn’t need to exist, let alone be thriving. They thrive because the need is growing. That’s not a reflection on them — it’s a reflection on a broken system that allows people to go hungry in one of the richest cities in the world. If you're in doubt about what they’re doing, go check their Instagram: @cityhivemedia. You’ll see the real organisations and people receiving food, sharing thanks, and showing how far the impact reaches. Even Southwark Foodbank has received food from CityHive — that alone should speak volumes. So again — how does any of this harm you personally? Why spend time trying to discredit a group trying to support those who are falling through the cracks? We need more people lifting others up — not adding weight to those already carrying the load.
    • Well, this is very disappointing. Malabar Feast  has changed its menu again. The delicious fish curry with sea bass no longer exists. There is now a fish dish with raw mango, which doesn't appeal. I had dal and spinach instead, which was bland (which I suppose I could/should have predicted). One of my visitors had a "vegetable Biriani" which contained hardly any vegetables. Along with it came two extremely tiny pieces of poppadom in a large paper bag.   This was embarrassing, as I had been singing Malabar's praises and recommending we ordered from there. The other mains and the parathas were OK, but I doubt we will be ordering from there again. My granddaughters wisely opted for Yard Sale pizzas, which were fine. Has anybody else had a similar recent poor (or indeed good!)  experience at Malabar Feast?
