Lol you mean reach for the most emotive words to make a simple complaint seem like the end of western civilisation.

I bet the person who said it had a real serious tone, like the tone reporters have when 3 miles from a war and can hear bombs, or when a river floods and damages a home.

Looks as though two women may have been working out of the house - that would technically make it a brothel. Hence the interest from the police.

Here is the Telegraphs take on it

I have visited more pro-dommes with female receptionists than you could shake a stick at. If the second lady is not taking part in the fun and games, it ain't a brothel!

I don't see why this is a 'bdsm scene being victimised' thing, or why anyone should be tub-thumping. The D&C police are one of the more liberal outfits, and generally, the police would much rather be getting on with important stuff (ibid), as a lot of them, and half of the judiciary, are kinky tinkers. But when *two* dozy bints open a pro-dungeon under a private tenancy, in a quiet village, one really thinks they deserve to be nicked, for being so darn daft. One pro domme could get away with it, but two are gonna generate some serious traffic, and the neighbours are going to get restless.

The polis are *obliged* to investigate in such circumstances, and you can't blame 'em for making political capital out of it - it's the way the world works, and naivety is no defence.

Our only *bad press* in this instance has been generated by something we all know; that although most of us have the sense to take advice before such endeavours on choice of location and so forth, sometimes even bdsm people are titanically stupid when they think they can make a fast buck.

I don't care if there was a small army of pro-dommes working there. In the present day and age, who gives a toss?

That said, I love your name!

And on the subject of an army of pro-domes working a dungeon, please may I recommend the purchase of one of the following:

http://www.storey-homes.co.uk/lansdowne.php

Six bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, a study, four bathrooms, two of which are en-suite, a large garden and a cellar big enough for a dungeon, complete with a wrack, a St. Andrews Cross and God knows what else! It's all going for a mere £650,000

Also, as a neighbour, I promise not to shop the brothel owners to the police. Well, as long as I get to visit at least twice a year for absolutely nothing!

P.S.

The show home is open Thursdays through to Mondays, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. To find the place, please search for the postcode MK40 2BU on Google Maps: http://maps.google.co.uk/

I look forward to welcoming my new neighbours with a smile and a bottle of champagne!

But, even if in the end it's decided it's not a brothel there is still the hassle etc of proving this - and all the resultant publicity as can be seen from this case

I must admit I tend to agree with CruelLadyScorpio's post about the apparent way this dungeon was set up and run and the fact that the police probably have to get involved if there are a lot of complaints

Having said that they do seem to have gone well over the top with the display of equipment and some of the attributed comments

Devon and cornwall police appear to have some serious issues with sexual minorities. Google is your friend.

They do seem to be quite notably homophobic.

Yes you can. The police could have investigated in a lower key way. And once it was clear what was going on, they could have reacted differently. Just because all that publicity is how their world works doesn't make it defensible.

Several nationals ran it. I bet some one made money out of that; and based on past precedents, that some of that reward went to some of the police involved in some form or other.

[quoting the police] "... sleepy Lee Mill"

ffs this is no roses round the door idyllic Devon village. That's a ginormous out of town Tesco complete with several football pitches sized carpark [but obviously not so close to said high rise dungeon else clients would have used it] alongside a large industrial estate, both spread out along the main Exeter to Plymouth and on into Cornwall dual carriageway. There are artics going in and out all the time. Sleepy village it ain't.
