Sat down with my cocoa and turned on a bit of late news only to see Paxman, of BBC2 Newnight fame, go for the juggular again on Newsnight (20th October 2009)

Paxman and Nicky Adams, from the British Collectives of Prostitutes, took on the former Foreign Office minister Dennis McShame over the false home office figures that approximately 25,000 woman, many under-age, are trafficked into the country to work in brothels.  Nicky Adams said that “this is a ludicrous assertion” and quoted the the recent Guardian newspaper article that uncovered the truth.  The article, ‘Prostitution and Trafficking – the anatomy of a moral panic’, Nick Davis, (20.10.09),  states that the home office figures are a gross exaggeration and there have been only a handful of prosecutions.  Paxman supported this view and he and Dennis had quite an pop at each other.  A very sulky Dennis stated he was set up and that Paxman was being childish.  Worth a look if you missed it.

The Guardian article finds the truth behind these fictitious figures. 

“The subject [has] attracted the attention of religious groups, particularly the Salvation Army and an umbrella group of evangelicals called Churches Alert to Sex Trafficking Across Europe (Chaste). Chaste explicitly campaigned for an end to all prostitution and, quoting their commitment to the principles of the Kingdom of God, they were enlisted as specialist advisers to the police.”

Further more:

“The evidence was left even further behind as politicians took up the issue as a rallying call for feminists. They were led by the Labour MP for Rotherham and former Foreign Office minister Denis MacShane, who took to describing London as “Europe’s capital for under-aged trafficked sex slaves”. In a debate in the Commons in November 2007, MacShane announced that “according to Home Office estimates, 25,000 sex slaves currently work in the massage parlours and brothels of Britain.”

“There is simply no Home Office source for that figure, although it has been reproduced repeatedly in media stories.”

Recieved 19th October:

Charlotte,

I recently accessed your website and was very impressed.  Your gallery was outstanding, your photographs were absolutely stunning; what a beautiful lady you are!   
I did feel it necessary to drop you an e-mail, to provide you with (admiring) positive feedback on your website. 

So appreciated, and thank you.

(the sweet gentleman who sent me this has agreed to me posting his comments on my blog)

Every year, nearly 9 million children die before their fifth birthday. World leaders have promised to dramatically cut these deaths.  We need YOUR help to make sure they keep their promises. Save the Children demand world leaders do all they can for children across the world.

Save the Children work in over 50 countries across the World, including the U.K.  they say:  1 in 3 children are living in some form of poverty in the U.K. today.

Sexy holidays are over, and back to the grind for all you guys.  You could make some time to snuggle up with me.

The leaves may be falling and the nights getting earlier, but that just means that candles are lit earlier too.

I find candle light so very seductive and sexy.

But don’t get on my wick!

I have had the most lovely day off which I spent walking with a friend through the beautiful woods at Tintern Abbey.

"You will find among the woods something you cannot find in books."

Well guys this is probably what you have been wanting to hear.  Yes, according to the national press today the big news is that stockings and glamour sales are up 50% this year.

Does this mean that other woman are catching on to how to please her man?  Something I have known for years.  Wear sensual sexy lingerie and not only will you look after the rest of yourself but men will notice you as a consequence.

When I wear by lovely sexy lingerie out on my own, such as the mall shopping or out and about in town I notice how much more I catch the eye of men, even those on the arm of their woman!  They obviously do not know what I am wearing underneath, but I think it is because I feel so sexy and feminine and men pick this up.  Call me a flirt but I think it is more than that, the men flirt with me, with their eyes.

Any comments guys?

Hello!

I have not had a chance to write lately as I have been away and rather busy.  But am managing to catch up with things this weekend.  That means endless washing, and general house keeping, you know the stuff that just can not be left any longer.  Yes life is not all glamour for us girls!  But having said that I have spied a wonderful pair of Kurt Geiger red stiletto heels in Dublin, so must try and buy a pair this week over here.  They will match my new YSL lipstick!
