Brit Local Gov't Paying for Learning Disabled to Visit Dutch Hooker

[The Bread Guy]

I couldn't make this up, folks - this, from the Daily Mail:

A 'man of 21 with learning disabilities has been granted taxpayers' money to fly to Amsterdam and have sex with a prostitute.

His social worker says sex is a 'human right' for the unnamed individual - described as a frustrated virgin.

His trip to a brothel in the Dutch capital's red light district next month is being funded through a £520million scheme introduced by the last government to empower those with disabilities.

They are given a personal budget and can choose what services this is spent on.

The man's social worker, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said his client was an 'angry, frustrated and anxious young man' who had a need for sex.

'He's planning to do more than just have his end away - he's having a holiday,' he said.

'He has been to two sexual health and sexual awareness courses and basically wants to try it.

'The girls in Amsterdam are far more protected than those on UK streets. Let him have some fun - I'd want to.

'Wouldn't you prefer that we can control this, guide him, educate him, support him to understand the process and ultimately end up satisfying his needs in a secure, licensed place where his happiness and growth as a person is the most important thing?

'Refusing to offer him this service would be a violation of his human rights.'

Paying for sex is not illegal but soliciting sexual services, kerb crawling and paying for sex with women who have been coerced into prostitution is.

The social worker added: 'Who says he can't do what he wants? We can't place restrictions on a young man who wants to experience the world.' ....

Where in hell are they coming up with all these "human rights"

You know the girls in the UK don't put out when the Government has to mandate sex as a human right.

. . . the unnamed individual - described as a frustrated virgin

Isn't "frustrated" a redundant adjective to describe a virgin?

. . . his client was an 'angry, frustrated and anxious young man' who had a need for sex.

How does this make him different than any 21 year old male Brit?

'The girls in Amsterdam are far more protected than those on UK streets.

This is just plain wrong and demeans the hardworking English girls trying to make a living.  Just another example of  the EU undercutting British trade.  British taxpayers' money should be spent in British whorehouses.  A letter to The Times is in order. 

(I feel a Monty Python moment coming on.)

One comment really struck home with me.

How long will it be until a rapist gets let off because it was his 'human right' to have sex?

Man, I really hope this doesn't happen again. Sex is a privilege, not a right.

Funny, I never had a problem there.  However, there are plenty of trollops in Soho and the rest of the West End that don't require a flight to get to.

Wonder how long before the Tree Huggy Free Love Types push for this in Canada?


If they Do I think I should Qualify.... If I had any less dates I'd be a Monk!
My theory is that I'm just waaaaaay to awesome for most women to handle....  ;D

England sure is a mess these days.

Funny, I can't seem to find that section in http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/

I can just see the proposed changes to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms:

RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS IN CANADA.
1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.


FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS.
2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
(a) freedom of conscience and religion;
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
(d) freedom of association.
(e) right to have sex


ENFORCEMENT OF GUARANTEED RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS / Exclusion of evidence bringing administration of justice into disrepute.
24. (1) Anyone whose rights or freedoms, as guaranteed by this Charter, have been infringed or denied may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain such remedy as the court considers appropriate and just in the circumstances.
(2) Where, in proceedings under subsection (1), a court concludes that evidence was obtained in a manner that infringed or denied any rights or freedoms guaranteed by this Charter, the evidence shall be excluded if it is established that, having regard to all the circumstances, the admission of it in the proceedings would bring the administration of justice into disrepute.
(3) Where, in proceedings under subsection (1), the right to have sex violates the Criminal Code regarding the exchange of money for sexual services, the government will fly them to Amsterdam where such activities are legal.
