Ooh sorry - I thought you were someone else!

I found this newspaper article rather amusing: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gr70OWSWuLTohp0Cnfe4eFbd14KwD9F8B0KO0 It's the sort of mistake that you might make after having had one too many! I think the 15 day jail sentence, however is just plain silly. Prostitution should not be considered to be a crime - it might be immoral, but at the end of the day, it's only sex - everybody does it, just in different circumstances. I don't think there is any comparison between having sex and mugging an old lady, for instance. Also, the £250 fine is ridiculous as well - but if she's any good at her job it shouldn't be long before she manages to recoup the money!

Men could now face prosecution, however, for seeking paid-for sex on the streets due to new legislation in tough new measures to curb prostitution: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/womanshour/01/2010_12_thu.shtml
