'Not buying it'...neither are Manchester strippers.

"Manchester strippers 'terrified' over secret filming.

Strippers have said they are "angry and terrified" after an anti-strip club campaign group carried out undercover filming of private nude dances.
Not Buying It claimed the recordings in Victorias and Obsessions lap dancing clubs in Manchester showed breaches in licensing rules, including sexual acts.
The group said covert filming was the "only way to get anything done about the strip industry".
A union has compared it to "revenge porn".
Not Buying It, which was set up to challenge exploitation in pornography and the sex trade, said it took the "drastic step" in March of hiring investigators to film strippers to "expose how the industry really operates".

"I consent to being on CCTV, I consent to it every night when I go to work [because it keeps me safe] but I don't consent to them filming me," said Daisy, who was filmed and whose name has been changed.
"We have a right to our body, despite what we do for a job, and they've taken that right completely away from us."
She said her biggest fear was the footage being leaked.
Both Victorias and Obsessions offer "full, nude" lap dances in "discreet" private rooms.
Not Buying It claimed to have filmed dancers both touching themselves sexually and "straddling" investigators, despite licensing rules forbidding contact.

Listening to the spokesperson for the group 'Not buying it' being interviewed on GMR this morning, it seems to me the main objective is not to make sure the girls are safe, but to completely close down the clubs they dance in.
She didn't deny this group had been set up for religious reasons. 'Not buying it'...neither are Manchester strippers. 2190311264

Should all strip and lap dancing clubs be closed down? Is the strip industry devaluing women? Do this organisation have a valid point?

Or should women be able to make up their own minds if they want to fund their education or lifestyle by stripping?

Surely if they get their way in closing down legally run clubs this will just force them underground, where no checks will be carried out on the premises, and there will be zero safeguards to protect the girls who work there.

well I know the F1 girls were pissed off at losing their own pole positions due to some other women screeching about what they should and shouldn't be doing

Seems that a lot of those 'moral crusader', 'wimmins' rights' and utra-conservative groups are keen to put a lot of women into unemployment...

Yet very few of those crusaders and activists are interested in providing alternative jobs and incomes..

Much like the more extreme anti-abortion/"right to life" militants, who are hellbent on defending the life of a foetus, yet have zero interest in the welfare of mother and child after the baby is born ?
