Valentine’s Special: Whores Recruited to Satisfy Those With Special Needs

1020_1325797285Look, I’ll be honest – I’m sorry, this is dark. Really dark. But that makes it all the more infuriating.

Essentially, the story is that some care homes may have spent a portion of their budgets on procuring ‘sex workers’ for their charges. That’s it. Do you have a problem with that? If you said ‘yes’, you’re an idiot.

If you’re a prostitute, I’m sure the disabled community makes up a very small part of your clientèle; if you’re disabled, it’s up to you what you want or don’t want, but you should be given the chance to make the choice. You – YOU WHO READS THIS AND EVERY OTHER STUPID ARTICLE IN THE PAPER – are neither. It’s none of your business; it’s not your problem; shut up and go away.

The only thing older than prostitution is disability. This happens in every other country – first world, third world – in the world. Only here, in Great Britain, could we make an issue out of it.

‘I want a world where disabled people are valid sexual partners’

Recent reports that a care home procured sex workers for its disabled residents and new film The Sessions have put disability and sex in the spotlight. But is the focus on prostitution helpful?

kwenchin, 13 February 2013 12:58am

Prostitution should not be encouraged. These women lead sad lives and support the drugs industry. The govt. would to paying to support the drugs industry and trafficing of east european sex slaves.

Right. Let’s choke the drugs industry by cutting out hookers.

iruka, 13 February 2013 8:53am

This east European ‘sex slaves’ myth is pure propaganda.

I don’t have any problem at all with sexual surrogacy. In some ways it’s pretty much the opposite of men paying money for the right to a half hour of morally solipsistic play with someone else’s body…reliving the tent-pitching delusion that they’re actually entitled to use other people purely as ends, and that that their ability to pay is the basis of that right.

I lost you at ‘solipsistic’ you terrible bore. Seriously – fuck you and whatever tent-pitching delusion you may have.

mikozero, 13 February 2013 12:22pm

how about we just give disabled people their money to live on, accept that at that point it’s actually theirs, and keep our damn moralising and holier than thou attitude out of other peoples business ?

Yes!

nellief, 13 February 2013 2:24pm

– Paying for sex is hardly “intimacy” – something that I hope all people with disabilities have in their life. The emphasis on sex is just sad.

Nobody, except you and the hundreds of mouth-foaming commentors, is mistaking intimacy with sex. This doesn’t happen in real life – why should you be so blind to it? Perhaps if you were disabled you might understand a little better.

ChristopherHervet, 13 February 2013 3:58pm

@silentstar101 – A long time ago or maybe once upon a time – the Samaritans were plagued by hundreds of calls from men seeking sexual gratification via the phone. This was thought to prevent the actively suicidal from getting through so the Brenda system was established.

Men needing that kind of satisfaction were encouraged to ask for “Brenda” who was a woman trained to try and engage with them and to talk about their underlying problems.

The outcome was that in some cases the woman volunteer would speak to the man while he endeavoured to come. A wel- to-do elderly BBC employee of my acquaintance regularly undertook this duty long after the Brenda system was scrapped.

I think the point I’m making in a round about way is that maybe money doesn’t need to change hands. It could be a voluntary service like any other with volunteers receiving appropriate CRB checks and training in sex therapy?

Brilliant. Re-proud to be British.

RA1966,13 February 2013 7:40am

@TrueBrit1066 – Everyone has the right to enjoy sex in some way,

do you agree that the NHS should provide free viagra for all? Patients with erectile dysfunction have a problem that prevents them enjoying sex.

000a000, 12 February 2013 11:03pm

Slightly uneasy about this: what’s the difference between a businessman who’s too busy to bother with seduction using a prostitute, someone who’s too lazy or drunk, and someone who’s too disabled?

Haneen1,12 February 2013 11:07pm

@000a000 – difference is that in the former two cases it involves a “subjective moral fault”, whereas disability is not a moral failing. They can’t help it, they didn’t choose to be disabled, nor did they do anything bad which made them disabled. Whatever you may feel about the sex service thing, it is wrong to put disabled people into the same category as greedy capitalists and the lumpen or borderline criminal elements.

Meh. You’ve over-thought this, so fuck you.

MoneyMustGo, 12 February 2013 11:43p

It’s sad that some people never get to have sex. Men like to romanticise prostitution, but it’s a f….ing terrible thing. If I had a disabled son, who was desperate for sex, I’d be telling him that it’s so wrong to buy a woman.

Really? If it was pay for it or never have it?

RA1966, 13 February 2013 7:45am

@lostalex77 – Why is the vagina or penis considered such a SACRED body part? it’s just another body part

Taxpayers don’t pay for anything but taxes.

It ceased being your money when it left your account… just as it does when you buy a car. You don’t get a say in whether the car salesman hires a prostitute either.

This is too stupid for comment.

LittleLetters,13 February 2013 6:26am

@kwenchin – Must be cosy up there, surveying the perfect world. Talk to a 65 year old single mother, looking after her 18 stone 40 year old son. He has a mental age of about 2, and hasn’t learnt how to masturbate. Once a month a sex worker provides him with hand relief and his mother with a calm household for a while. Whilst this is an imagined scenario, it’s one that exists in similar forms, far more often than anyone would like. Disability is not merely physical, and the relief offered by sex workers is not merely for the client.

That’s pretty grim, but it’s reality – READ IT

bolobo, 13 February 2013 2:10am

As a long-time inadvertant-celibate what I ache for is to touch my forehead against the forehead of someone who loves me and I can’t buy that. Using a sex worker would only serve to emphasise the comparative triviality of my loins.

“What disabled people need is full and equal rights. An inclusive society, which doesn’t create barriers.”

I’m not against anybody employing a sex worker but feel that it’s just a more complicated form of masturbation rather than sex.
It’s not new in the film world. 1998’s The Theory of Flight, starring Helena Bonham Carter as a woman with motor neurone disease, was excellent in it’s exploration of the subject.

I ache to say: Fuck you.

‘No such thing as Falkland islanders’, says Argentine foreign minister

By , The Telegraph

This story, and the one immediately below, relate to Argentinian foreign minister Hector Timerman’s recent visit to the UK. During this visit, he claimed there is ‘no such thing as a Falkland islander’. Needless to say, the forums were ablaze with indignation.

Except this poster:

Stoneyjack

Do not, repeat, do not incite the ire of winsome warrior queen Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner [Argentine president]. She is bold, brilliant, beautiful…and belligerent. You have been warned.

Haha … what?

However, the majority did not seemed too cowed by the warrior queen:

No.

And some corned beef.

As much as I love this Sceptred Isle and the plight of the Falklanders concerns me, I know I’m not alone among the DT’s male commentators in wondering what de Kirchner’s like in the sack. Probably ain’t a bad shag, as it happens.

Straight from the Alan Partridge playbook of pulling.

UK ‘disappointed’ as Argentina turns down talks over Falklands

by Julian Borger and agencies, The Guardian

SIRBOBPAISLEY

The Malvinas belong to the democratically elected sovereign state of Argentina – end of story. The ‘aliens’ who are currently decamped on the island should be forcibly repatriated to the UK if they wish to continue living under British rule. To deprive Argentina of their rightful claims to Sovereignty over the Malvinas is an insult to natural justice.

‘Forcibly repatriated’ used in a most un-Guardian like manner.

LivAalborg

The globalist Nazis pulling the strings in Holyrood are the same as the puppet masters in Argentina.

‘Globalist’ gives that extra twist of lizard people.

[In response to an Argentinian poster supporting the islanders’ right to self-determination…]

@Nicolas2013 – Nice comment which proves my point: ordinary Argentinians are good people.

Really? They’re not all massive shits? No…

starfield 

There’s a hell of a lot of Thatcherites on this thread! Geographically, if it should be a part of any country, it is Argentina, no question about it. It’s not the right of Falklanders as they are the colonialists who are able to live there because the UK lays claim to the islands. That goes entirely against reason. I would give them back to Argentina in the blink of an eye.
Just because a country occupies land, it doesn’t make it justified that they should rule it. If you think it does, you inadvertantly support Adolf Hitler.
I fully welcome any arguments against this.

Bring it, you de-facto Nazis!

What follows are several comments questioning the historical accuracy of Starfield’s post, before…

starfield

@tokaido – Listen, I take back what I said as you’re right with saying that it didn’t actually belong to Argentina. My apologies to everyone for thinking something that was not correct.
And I’m being serious here. I admit my mistake.

Ouch! Burnt by Wikipedia.

It isn’t those who oppose gay marriage who are the bigots – it is the liberals who demonise them

BY Stephen Glover, The Mail

This week MP’s voted to bring gay marriage into law. Some people, sadly, were not cool with that:

JonnyJV, Surrey

If Tony Blair’s great SIN is the Iraq war. Then David Cameron has committed a greater SIN by force feeding this to the British public. He will never be forgiven.

Gay marriage is clearly worse than leading your country to war on back-of-a-fag-packet intelligence for one poster.

nonpc, UK

Sometimes, a nation goes so far off the moral track that it takes an Augusto Pinochet to get it back on the rails again. Now, I am not condoning some kind of militaristic retaliation. What I am saying is we need a LEADER!!! And the tepid, assinine and moribund bunch of useless politicians who think they know better, currently in Parliament, need their BACKSIDES kicking!!

Maybe nonpc has forgotten that 2279 people lost their lives under Pinochet and a further 31,947 were tortured.

Liberalism and socialism – the two death knells for Britain today. The plan for the utter destruction of our country is almost complete.

My chemical romance: can medicine cure divorce?

by Will Store, The Guardian

Socratesisinnocent

As ever, the reductionists miss the point, not only of the subject, but of life itself.

We humans experience life, and so to have meaning it has to be life as it is, not life as drugs can make us think and feel it is; that’s an evasion. You might as well hire a hypnotist.
Most people have seen the Matrix. Most people would, I think, choose the red pill. We instinctively understand that although reality can feel at times feel meaningless, it is the only place we may one day experience meaning.

Ah, reduct yourself.

Aside from pseudo-intellectual gobbledegook, there was raw emotion in some of the comments…

Jackanapes 

Can medicine cure divorce? I dunno. Can it cure the rage, grief, shattering disappointment, bitterness and disillusionment caused by infidelity?

Can medicine cure divorce?

TV is Freed: Dancing on Ice shock, Celeb Big Brother and Borgen series 2

Pamela skates  off Dancing on Ice

This weekend saw the shock exit of Pamela Anderson in ITV’s Dancing on Ice, hot tub antics in Celebrity Big Brother (five), the return of Prime Minister Birgitte Nyborg in Borgen (BBC4) and debate over whether actor Matthew Macfadyen is animal, mineral or vegetable in BBC’s Ripper Street.

Something for all the familiy then, but what did the the nation’s posters make of it all?

Sports Special: The Guardian’s 100 Best Footballers

ronaldoIn order to fill space and generate hits over the Christmas/New Year low season, The Guardian decided to publish a flashy ‘interactive’, which was essentially a list of the 100 best footballers currently playing around the world.

These lists are notoriously subjective and open to debate. Aside for the obvious number one, every other position is a question of opinion and preference. So, with the table laid, the port open, and the resentment gently simmering, we get stuck into a Christmas-sized helping of quality debate…

When some readers reported problems viewing the ‘interactive’, The Guardian tech people announced that it was ‘viewable on anything more recent than IE8’…

 […] Thanks to the Guardian’s browser snobbery I can’t see any of the list. Next thing’ll be it’s exclusively accessible to people with fancy Apple iPads.

The Left – sneaky, underhand, undemocratic, vicious, demented to the point of insanity, divisive, self interested, bullying, fiscally ignorant, greedy, irresponsible… I could go on and on.

(Editor’s note: he does)

It is time that people are made to pay for their own choices. Local councils are robbed blind to pay for Left workers and ideas without any consultation or approval from the taxpayers.

Political parties, quangos, institutions are infiltrated and corrupted by Left activities – even our electoral system has been hacked and abused with only a few jail sentences and no public or legal apportion of blame on the instigators of this undemocratic behaviour.

The biggest lie and crime of all and doing the most damage to the country is the secret plan by Labour to flood Britain with unlimited immigration for purely party gain and to attack their opponents. This is destroying our country and as I and many others have said should be taken to court and the culprits made to pay for their betrayal and their evil work against the interests of the nation.

The Left are sick and evil and the enemy within.

The RSPCA is the tip of the iceberg.

The Tories attempts to bring together legislature,executive and judiciary could not be any clearer than with fox hunting. The tories don’t like to prosecute…nobody else does. well done RSPCA

 

Why the RSPCA pursued a Heythrop Hunt prosecution
Gavin Grant, The Guardian | Full article

AdieLee

It is probably best to steer clear of people who enjoy hunting, one thing most serial killers have in common is that they have a history of torturing and killing animals.

Hey RSPCA,

Domesic cats exterminate countless millions of birds and beasts every year.

How come there is no prgram to make the ownersip of these monsters illegal?

JimsonWeed

Your post isn’t really clear. Are you comparing cats with fox hunters?

tomcmc

Absolutely right for the RSPCA to pursue this, and successfully. Congratulations.

Yet another example of arrogant, upper class feral elitists who consider themselves above the law, which is for ‘the little people’.

Who are the real vermin here?

BillTomFred

A nice fantasy – strip a couple of “toffs” naked, cover them in foxy smell, turn them loose into rural Oxfordshire, set the dogs on them and let them experience the thrill of the hunt from the other end. If the worst should happen, it is, we are told, a humane way to control the number of these pests in our countryside.

Yes… sigh… just a nice fantasy…

Pipspup

What an odd thing to fantasise about. Why do antis always want to hurt people?

 


CofE to allow gay bishops as long as they don’t do, er, whatever it is that they like to do to each other

The future? Could be.

This story has generated some interesting debate, both on the theological and philosophical implications of the decision and also on its more earthly technicalities.

Church of England rules gay men in civil partnerships can become bishops

Tingler, 04 January 2013 5:43 PM

What EXACTLY is it that they don’t like?

Two men loving each other?
As long as they good to each other what difference does their sex make?

Is it the lovemaking ACT or the love itself?

Two men bumming each other?
So is it realy the act of “up the bum” that they don’t like? Hetero couples do this now – if a hetero couple try to get married or become bishops, Should the church prevent such sinful behaviour?

Sucking dick – ditto if a hetero girl does this should she be forbidden from marrying?

The church really does know how to make itself look like a bunch of bigoted outdated fools.

UnashamedPedant, 04 January 2013 6:52 PM

‘Hetero couples do this now…’

What is this “now”?

Yes, I think it’s mainly the ‘up the bum’.

bllckchps, 04 January 2013 6:03 PM

Why are these clueless misogynistic homophobes still in control of our schools and sitting unelected in the House of Lords? On the other hand, I welcome this sort of idiocy if it hastens their richly-deserved descent into oblivion.

A bit harsh

DrTyrell, 04 January 2013 6:36 PM

I have decided to make no comment as this is just too idiotic and beyond parody

Uhhhh…

PeterTon, 04 January 2013 6:51 PM

Are they allowed to masturbate?

According to them, nobody is.

 The Daily Mail

Church of England ends ban on gay clergy in civil partnerships becoming bishops (but they must remain celibate)

The great thing about the Daily Mail comments system is that it not only offers insight into the people who read the paper, but also the people who read the comments. Its up-down voting system often reveals interesting trends in the opinions of the larger readership. In this case, it meant slamming anything with a shade of common sense or Christian charity with negative votes and approving heartily of any knee-jerk homophobia and/or church-bashing.

They too have a right to live in peace, next step women bishops within the C of E and Rome !! Onward and onward Christain soldiers………together in PEACE !!!!

I for one am 100% in favour of gay/same sex marriage and i like that this government are finally giving homosexuals the same rights as straight people However i also believe that churches should not be forced to go against their beliefs no matter of personal opinion (i think their beliefs are misguided but thats my opinion and ONE of the reasons i dont follow religions!) and i get confused that anyone would want to get married somewhere where their sexuality is not only denied but also were they are demonised just for being what they are! (Its not a choice to be gay no more than it is to be straight!)

steve, liverpool merseyside, 4/1/2013 19:33

A very balanced and reasonable position, whatever his personal beliefs… Rating: -48. Oh.

I would have no problem with any gay Bishop. All I require of him is that he is a good man. Whom he loves, at a personal level is not my business. Christ’s injunction to us, that we should love one another, does not seem to be evident in most of the posts here. No very Christian, are you?

bar, notts, 5/1/2013 10:23

Yes, just a good man, his personal life is not your business. Very reasonable… Rating: -7

Can’t quite understand why they enter the ‘Church’ when the Bible categorically forbids it. Surely this is the basic guide book given by God. Why not enter another type of caring ‘profession’ where it is well accepted…

Maureen, Cardiff, 4/1/2013 22:23

Caring ‘profession’? Rating: +226

Like most large British institutions the university inspired cultural Marxists started to infiltrate the CE in the 60’s and have been white anteing the church since to its final state we find it today a rotting corps which stands for nothing,

Adelaide hillman, Adelaide, 5/1/2013 8:43

What. Rating: +78

hang on…isn’t Christianity about non judgemental, acceptance of all of Gods Children? Yet instead of practicing this, the majority of you are simply bashing someone’s ability or right to be firstly religious and secondly an authority figure in the Church…thats blatant hypocrisy and completely ‘un Christian-like’…

Charlotte, London, 5/1/2013 7:37

Hang on… I think you’re right, this sounds reasonable… Rating: -12. Oh.

A Gay Christian is an oxymoron. Just why are the Bishops wondering why the people are turning their backs on the C of E? This makes a mockery of the teachings and beliefs of Christians and any one that says otherwise is a hypocrite. You cannot be a Homosexual and a proper, believing, full on Christian, Jew, Islamist, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh or any other major religion I know of… You just cannot…. End of story. If you wish to go off and make up a new sect or faith then go away and do it. Don’t thrust your bigotry towards people of faith down their throats.

NDT, Sydney expat, 4/1/2013 22:47

Bloody gays, thrusting their throbbing bigotry down our moist quivering throats… Rating: +8

I am puzzled, what happens to gay clergy living with a partner who do not wish to become Bishops? Is it within Church law for them and their partner to not be celibate and play hanky panky with one another?

GEF, Belfast, 4/1/2013 22:12

I, too, am puzzled. Rating: +127

So, Its not ok to have women Bishops in the Church of England but it is acceptable to become a Bishop if you are a homosexual! I dont want to be registered as a believer of this sick and twisted brand of religion. So I shall now consider where else to be buried, and act upon it.

Gay bishops allowed – but they can’t have sex

Colin Goto6 hours ago

[Someone suggests that God, too, has a penis]

If God has a car; and he suggests a few rules on how to drive it; do you suppose he rams into little kids crossing the road? Or do you think he advises us not to do that either? Dorks dumbkopfs.

Wha… oh ok, I get it.

But that’s just it; it is for enjoyment.
Anal sex isn’t, since the one important factor missing is lubrication.

Brigitte Bardot threatens to leave France for animal- and tax-friendly Russia

 

Brigitte Bardot 1

The Daily Mail

Brigitte Bardot threatens to quit France for Russia over plight of elephants with tuberculosis

John , London, United Kingdom

An honourable woman, unafraid to stand up for animal rights. And a mesmeric and iconic figure who will be remembered for many years, unlike the nasties posting here who will be only remembered by their immediate families and friends.

firewerker , lewes, United Kingdom

could’nt believe that this was the once radiant specimen of womanhood who held us all captive in the 1960s with her Mary Quant shoes,Jasper Conran hairstyle and Vidal Sosoon hoat coature.

French , Abroad

Those 2 seniles future-ex-French-citizens are pathetic. A lot of us French hate the current politics, and were behing Mrs. Bardot in her fight to get animal-cruelty eradicated, however to go and glorify Russia as a democratic country (as opposed to France I guess) is an insult for the Russians currently in jail for their opinions. They are priviledged to have a strong voice and access to countless media and they should fight publicly for those citizens who do not have their connections. Our country is going down the pan and the rats are leaving the boat!

 

The Guardian

Brigitte Bardot threatens to follow Gérard Depardieu’s Russian move

Putin is rendering a service to the west as a “money-grabbing dickhead” detector.

Well done to him indeed and good riddance to those who take him up on his offer. (See you all in a Siberian jail on trumped-up tax evasion charges).

…If she wanted a mafia state, she could always consider the UK.

It would be a good choice for any conoisseur of odious regimes. For instance, I hear that the UK is run by a wealthy elite and that you can seize power with only 35% of the popular vote. Apparently, it even has a second house where the legislators are unelected.

Apparently, its a police state too, where you can get arrested for tweeting jokes, or where the police infiltrate civilian protest groups or kill innocent civilians (whether shooting a Brazilian on the underground or beating up the odd newseller on his way home during a demonstration).

Apparently, it also has a bad record on human rights. I heard that the UK has more CCTV cameras than any other country, engages in the electronic surveillance of its population, and helps out with the odd extraordinary rendition or two.

Also, if you like a good war, apparently they enjoy dropping the odd bomb on an arab country or two.

Yes, if she needed a mafia state, she should just look across the channel

StabbyMcMurderson

Apart from animal rights she is a rather disgusting fascist

 

 

 


Labour Shadow Minister for Health proposes banning sugary breakfast cereals to fight child obesity.

The Telegraph

MPs ‘should consider banning Frosties’, says Andy Burnham

clickonme

Hold the Front Page – professional northerner sets thought police onto our kiddies cornflakes!

Peter_R

News for Mr Burnham: – I walked up and down the aisle selling junk cereals in my local supermarket for 30 minutes yesterday and not once did a member of staff insist that I buy a packet. I also walked up and down past our local MacDonalds for 30 minutes and no attempt was made to frogmarch me inside and force me to buy a hamburger. Through my own research I have discovered that the consumption of food high in sugar, fat, and salt is not compulsory. I conclude from this that the current wave of obesity is nothing more than a lifestyle choice. If the nannies in Westminster don’t like the effect that this uncomfortable fact has on various state-provided services, they should change the way these services are funded. If people were made to take a little more responsibility for their own actions it would be no bad thing.

What a pathetic country this is becoming, whatever happened to freedom of choice? Liberal fudwits.

FatManInASwivelchair

maybe we could have the freedom to choice a society where these disgusting products that harm our health aren’t available. I know you tory gadge’s dream you’re libertines but alas you’re not. These so called foods should be like cigarettes and available to over 18’s only. Unless off course you think that making money is more important than the health of children.

cleisthenes_of_glasgow

FatManInASwivelchair

I am sure you remember that Hitler Youth were the very epitome of health; something the Reich could be truly proud of.

There is a price to pay for freedom, and it is responsibility. The child must learn this over time, and the surest way is for them to develop self-discipline in the face of temptation. It is this inner discipline and self-direction that marked us as different from the vast majority of other cultures.

Finally, your scheme is nothing more than an imposition of your ideas on the rest of us. It is equally valid that we let proponents of Sharia do the same, or communists. The only sane basis for a society is to let people live as they please and to deal with the consequences.

Ban high-sugar cereals to tackle child obesity, says Andy Burnham

Ikonoclast, 05 January 2013 11:08 AM

Ya think? Nutella described as a nutritious food at breakfast? Coco Pops, are they necessary? The shite we can easily give our kids is mountainous, and I say it as a dad who has brought three up (now 11-20) who are in good weight/health etc..it’s a battle that we won quite easily tbh but the temptation and peer pressure is/was massive. Recall them telling me of sleepovers years back were they’d be offered fizzy drinks at 10:30 the next morning…and fizzy orange for breakfast.

David Higham, 05 January 2013 10:54 AM

When the country is full of parents who couldnt care less about what their children eat, the government should take a stand for the future generation. Im very much against the “nanny state”, but sometimes it needs to happen, because people are too stupid, or just dont care to do whats best for children or the future of the country!

Make high levels of fat, sugar and salt in children’s food ILLEGAL, say Labour

UKIP Supporter , Bromley, Kent, 05/1/2013 12:04

Banning sugary breakfast cereals is a good idea. The government should swallow their pride and do it ASAP. This is the first good idea from the Labour Party I think I’ve ever heard.

Tony , Dartford, 05/1/2013 11:55

I will not buy Heinz bake beans any more as they have altered the amount of sugar and salt and do not taste the same, the same with spaghetti hoops. Bring out low sugar and salt alternatives if people want them but make sure you can get the original recipes as well. I believe in freedom of choice and not being bullied. This is the nanny state too far.
