well that was fair & balanced - NOT ! no replys /responses opposing views to mrs longhurst.

not one

No one was given the chance to pose questions to this lady,they felt it wouldn't be fair on her. I was left feeling with a bad taste in My mouth because of this.....BUT.... I think another program would be needed to scrape the surface of putting our views across

It'd be great to have that same guests, plus someone from CAAN or Backlash or even the Spanner Trust, taking part in an intelligent, balanced program. Unfortunately, daytime television wants blood and guts, not intelligent debate. And more unfortunate still, it seems that only these kind of programs are interested in approppiating the issue of extreme pornography to increase audience rates.

The argument of those who are forced into prostitution being representative of the industry as a whole was what I was disagreeing with.

Ok, got you.

And while it's true that trafficking is not the only way to attract omen to the sex industry, evidence shows that this sex industry relies on many women's lack of self worth and self steem to succeed.

I'll get off my soap box now.

I'm going off to practice my communication skills because the two people who have replied to my post seemed to get something completely different from what I was trying to put across!

My fault entirely, crimsomsky. When I posted about the "necessity" of prostitutes as a service, I was replying to Kitti's post, now yours:

I would agree there aren't many women who chose to become prostitutes, many do it for the money. (I am sure not all, but many). I also think men would rather live in good marriages than visit prostitutes, but life isn't that simple.

My sincerest apologies about the confusion!

Well what a load of shit that was!

The prostitute annoyed me, she really didn't portray herself very well at all.

I do get annoyed with peoples misconceptions about prostitutes, they could of chosen someone abit more eloquent than Joy to go on, but oh well. The show was already biased.

The audience generally were a bunch of idiots too (what do you expect for daytime tv)

Oh noes. It's car crash television. I keep cringing from behind the cushion. It was ok until the audience participation bit. Really worrying if the opinions and ignorance expressed are in any way representative of public opinion.

They are probably representative of the opinions of the people who watch Trisha - and of a fair proportion of the tabloid-reading dumberati. Luckily, these people don't realise the power they could have if they became active and joined up. If they ever did, the Human Rights Act would be abolished, capital punishement would return (for murder, rape, child abuse, and whatever was in today's headlines), we'd be out of Europe, there'd be 100% tax on income above £100k, and bingo would be state subsidised.

But he is the one who should be on TV defending his views, not Mrs Longhurst.

Ok, can I watch that program somewhere on the interweb?

It takes ages to get an email from that show, but will post when it turns up. It was rather confusing to have liz on at the end.

I have never watched the Trisha show before, but it was obvious as to what the format was, the lady who was the prostiute was an easy target by the bitchey females in the audience

Completely unsurprisingly it was a heap of crap. The pro domme might have said she doesn't have sex with her clients but given that the title of the show was "Selling Sex" I doubt that the web toed audience made much differentiation. She also said she gets paid to harm people. That'll go down well with the baying crowd. She was hilariously stereotypical, grimacing faux menacingly into the camera clutching a flogger. I don't believe for a second that anybody watched that programme and came out with a positive image of BDSM. And that was before Mrs Longhurst's interview!

Still if that was bad just wait till Jeremy Kyle's bear baiting version in a few weeks.

They are representative of the views of the sort of people who are willing to go to a TV studio in Maidstone at 10 am on a weekday. Primarily they are students, housewives and pensioners, they probably have a few groupies who turn up to every show as well. These people know to bring a change of top for the second or third shows and to sit in different seats for each show. On certain shows they will invite the two opposing factions to bring a coach worth each to guarantee a ruck in the audience.

IME you have nothing, other than the fee, to gain from becoming involved with these people.
