The Anti Arty Farty Party …thoughts of an Ageing Hippy Highlander

Mind If I Weigh Them?

WayHay!!

So our Lords and Masters in the Scottish Executive have decided that they need to spend their time and our money on a study of the Adult Entertainment Industry.

They’ve set up a grand body called The Adult Entertainment Working Group (AEWG) to “look into” (I’ll bet) the industry and come up with recommendations. Are their expense accounts not big enough that they need to get into the clubs under the guise of “study”.

Are these fucking people for real? Save The Children has just released a damning report on child poverty in Scotland yet the great and the good feel the need to waste time and money studying the working conditions of lap-​dancers! You couldn’t make it up.

And their recommendations?

• National regulations should be created to apply to all adult entertainment activity
  So they can go back regularly to check up
• Performers should not touch, or be touched by, customers, keeping 1m distance
  Tape measures out!
• There should be adequate security to prevent illegal activity
  Duh!?
• All activities should be visible at all times
  Not much fucking point if it’s NOT visible
• There should be a minimum age of 18 for performers, public and employed staff
  Duh!?
• Councils should decide whether full nudity is appropriate for a specific venue
  Make sure the fucking cooncil mannies can get in on the act
• Regulations should not apply to artistic performances
  That’s OK then, “I’m showing my fanny as a work of art, honest Guv”. (US alert — in the UK a fanny is the “front-​bottom” not your arse, sorry ass)

For me the point is — Why do blokes want to go to these places and look at naked ladies? What’s the point of a look without a feel?

It’s a bit like taking a kid to an ice cream parlour for a look at a Knickerbocker Glory but making sure that they’re kept a good 1m away from it at all times!

So lads if you’re all so desperate to see some flesh — here you go
