Open you eyes to the Trafficking of Thais into London

[gslang]

Im happy to be corrected over this. What i was trying to say is the legal aspects around escorting are grey and im sure many transgress.

I appreciate a number of UK-resident tgirls do their best to comply, as they are committed to living here. I doubt any of the visitors do. My concern was that major investigation would have uncertain knock on effects.

I welcome you highlighting the fact that clients liable even if they are unaware.

Im not trying to spin unrealistic statistics, but a basic analysis of the numbers advertising

... 201 paid for adverts on Eros is a good starting base. of which well over half by the same group, with multiple names for mayb 30. they also manage GGs and what other lines of business.

Of the 201... how many do you think are truly independent?

I would suggest that almost all the visiting girls have to make some co-sharing/hosting arrangements. I dont see anything wrong there, but recognise the london marketplace for what it is. I remember when there were 50 adverts on eros and it was good business for those working here.

But im also sure the true independents are being driven out... out of central london and out the business.

you dont need to be in london to make tons of money escorting anymore ... why work somewhere where there is huge numbers of competition all the time ..

I understand the difficulty, its your call but it is worth pointing out the situation so that people can decide for themselves not to use agencies. I don't doubt most girls are aware of the reality in the UK, but much of the foreign trade is driven by poverty at home or lack of alternative choices. I think these days the sex trade has a mix of coercion among some, and free choices among others, I know of two independent Filipinas on the Asian circuit (only one of whom I have met) who have done well financially out of the business and bought property for themselves and their families at home, and much more. They are good with money and would be successful in any other business, whereas there are girls who just spend everything they get and are forever in need. One can only hope that the Thai girls you refer to manage to survive their time in London without serious long term damage and make enough of a profit for it to have been worthwhile. But yes, agencies should be avoided.

I have mentioned the trafficked Thais many times but on the whole people ignore the fact.
One of the traffickers posts here and people ask her advice on who to see !

There must be 50 Thai ladyboys advertising on Eros in London now.

How do you think these ladyboys get visas ?

Answer - fake passports.

I ve seen my share of thai tgirls I think most of them are here freely. I cant say the same about asian female escorts which I think for the most are pimped out.
I also know some long term residents of this country who are clearly independent.

You have rightly raised this issue before, and like me are disappointed many people continue to ignore whats right in front of them.

Yesterday i checked thru the current Eros listing for central london these girls account for 114 out of 197. At $100 for base advert for 28days thats $11,400 plus $000's more on banners and premium positioning.

Thats just for one site, there are several others ... including this site, and one of the traffickers is even identified as a Official HA Sponsor.

It is a concern that those benefiting from this revenue in such challenging times dont want to rock the boat.

Also, other girls are being squeezed out, how can they fairly compete when their ads are lost among these multiple adverts, and thats before u add on the fakes appearing all the time. Plus independents have to secure their own accommodation in this expensive city, undoubtably paying a higher per week cost. Its typical practise to undercut and undermine the opposition.

Libby, no competition when you re in town

OK so you've highlighted the problem, what is it that needs to change?

Not to take you to task, but it's so obvious...

I know girls go into the life for many different reasons but I'm definitely against anyone being forced like this. I'm sure I've been with many before in massage parlors from Korea. I see independent girls now that I get to know pretty well over time.
