What would you think of our New Labour Government if you found out it had stepped in and halted a rather unorthodox and quaint system that had evolved from a tragedy and regulated, in a very basic but fundamental way, a trade that effects thousands of people in Sheffield and surrounding area of South Yorkshire, leaving it unregulated and open to criminality? And it then hushed up its responsibility for the resulting mayhem from the mainstream media so this subject is never openly discussed, meaning most British people are unaware of its actions so it is never made to account for the consequences?
Clicking on the link above, “Royal Marriages and Succession to the Crown (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill”
Comments by the various MPs here read like a mutual appreciation society. Notice Denis MacShane M.P. New Labour, congratulating the Bill’s proposer in sycophantic and rehearsed fashion, and Evan Harris’ reply recognising “ his contribution to fundamental issues of human rights and freedoms.” Huh!???
Question: What do the Queen and our Constitution have in common with Sheffield brothels?
Answer: Denis McShane MP New Labour. (This ubiquitous man seems to have an opinion on practically everything. Is there actually anything he does not spout off about? Oh yes, being a Common Purpose graduate perhaps– many believe!)
http://home.freeuk.net/freenations/briti...lists.html describes him as a euro-fascist not just for his ideology but his personality!
His views on sex are draconian too:

MacShane has been extremely vocal in recent years concerning this subject. He sees himself as some sort of self-appointed “expert” but he should try seeing the world from other people’s viewpoints, not just his own,

MacShane, like most of us, does not like the idea of sauna/massage establishments but for some people at various stages in their lives it is their only way to have an adult relationship. What about the young paraplegic who will probably never marry and have a family? (Loads more of them around now thanks to NuLabor’s warmongering!) Mentally disturbed war veterans? The lonely, elderly widower? The depressed and stressed travelling businessman? Care in the Community males? The sad immigrant whose family are all abroad? Etc.
It is not always all about you, and what you and New Labour want Denis! Or is it?
MacShane (Rotherham) and other Lab. MPs for Sheffield like Blunkett, Flint and Munn, plus McTaggart and others, have meddled in this area. These busybodies have interfered, and a system that worked has been removed, however the changes they promised to replace it with have never materialised. These so-called experts are actually pig- ignorant, lazy and have never bothered to find out about the history of this area. Or talk to the people involved. Many believe, thanks to them, that the situation in Sheffield is now more dangerous than it has been for many years.
Anyone remember the Yorkshire Ripper? Most of his victims were around Leeds in West Yorkshire, but the whole of South Yorkshire and surrounding counties were affected by him, in the early ‘70s. An excellent lecture on the Ripper Investigation by Professor Green – a Criminologist, used to be held regularly at Sheffield University during the 90s, with forensic photos that the public have never been allowed to see. Professor Green led the hunt for this fiend and, living in the area himself with young daughters at the time, expressed how difficult it was back then. Fathers in Sheffield had to escort their daughters to every disco and party, women of all ages even elderly women were afraid to go out in the daytime, merely shopping, on their own. Although the Ripper seemed to be targeting street prostitutes, he also murdered non-prostitutes and everyone was frightened. He was actually caught and arrested in Sheffield.
This is the reason why, afterwards, the council and police in Sheffield took a more relaxed line towards the setting up of saunas and massage parlours feeling that, if women had to work as prostitutes, they were better off indoors where there are lights and other people around. Rather than working alone in dark streets and getting into stranger’s cars. Also, it is more healthy because they and the punters can wash and take showers, and so on. It’s more civilised. This is how the Sheffield sauna scene developed, in the light of the Ripper murders. A few saunas/parlours were tolerated in Sheffield while the area heaved a sigh of relief and recovered slowly from the horror of it all, getting back to normal. Most people thought the saunas were a good idea. It is doubtful whether the MPs mentioned above have ever considered this history of Sheffield.
Subsequently, for many years Sheffield City Council ingeniously regulated the city’s massage parlours and saunas by making the owner/managers apply to them for a Cinematic License if adult video films were shown on the premises – which they usually were.
For £180.00 the Council arranged an annual inspection date. Officers from the Council came to the premises on that date with Police Officers and Fire Officers. They would inspect the premises from top to bottom, inside and out. The Council Officials covered cleanliness, laundry, the bathroom, rubbish-disposal, and things like that. The firemen looked at safety issues, fire-escapes, smoke alarms, fire-doors and so on. Valid gas boiler and electrical inspection certificates and a TV License would have to be produced. The police took details, asked relevant questions, looked around and familiarised themselves with the place.
The proprietor had to comply with all their recommendations, eg. replacing a fire-door, removing rubbish or having a security light installed. A couple of weeks were allowed for this, then an officer would check the work was done. They reported, and a few weeks later the license would be issued. Sometimes it would be put it in a frame and displayed on the premises for clients to see. Every year Sheffield City Council sent out reminders and they would go through the whole performance again. It was nothing to do with films actually but it was a device whereby they could look around the place and the proprietor was motivated to have a spring clean, and keep it nice and clean. That license meant a great deal to people because it could be referred to in advertising. Proprietors did not want to do anything or allow anything to jeopardise it. As long as I behaved, that license meant they would not be raided, if there was a problem or a complaint it was discussed in a civilised way. This system also had the effect of encouraging a “no drugs policy” in these places.
Around 2003-4, Sheffield Council decided that the Cinematic License system was being abandoned because new laws were being brought in by New Labour which would change everything! Well, guess what? Nothing happened – except Sheffield’s old system was thrown out! The sauna/massage parlours in Sheffield were never inspected again! I suppose they are still waiting for the Government to do something, and they never have!
So what has happened since then? New establishments have open around Sheffield with brazen, idiotic names and when enquiries are made it is not a business premises, just a private house or a flat. They are opening and closing all the time. They are not proper businesses and pay no tax and, because they are never inspected, outrageous rumours of shocking drug use and peddling, client muggings, foreign girls, and filthiness have started to circulate about them. Also, New Labour’s recent encouragement of prostitutes to set themselves up in private flats is bringing them into direct conflict with Landlord and Tenant Legislation. That’s sensible!
And now we have this:

A Police-owned brothel open for business as usual!
On no longer being required to have Local Authority inspections referred to in the above article, a Sheffield Sauna has gone completely off the rails! Amazingly, this story has not been picked up by our national papers!
Does this mean that the Queen and her country the UK -that's us, are now pimps?
I do not know, you decide.
How many other sauna/massage parlours does the Crown own?
Denis MacShane MP, meddling beyond ability, and leading beyond authority. He is very good at, and enthusiastic of, wrecking systems that work well. But he and his colleages are incredibly bad, if fact they are are totally hopeless when it comes to putting something sensible and workable in their place.
God help the British Constitution if this lot have anything to do with it - we could end up with a right old Mess!
The motto of this horny tale seems to be: If it works don’t fix it!
