Talk about double standards

Post by gmc »

"The names of nine strip-club performers who were filmed by private investigators working with campaigners concerned about the exploitation of women should be revealed, a judge has ruled.

The nine performers, plus Spearmint Rhino bosses, are embroiled in a fight with campaign group Not Buying It. They want to stop Not Buying It circulating footage taken by private investigators at Spearmint Rhino clubs in Sheffield and Camden, north-west London, earlier this year."

It's quite possible some of the performers have family who don't know what they are doing for a living. So if they are being exploited how would having the videos and their names help in any way? I doubt very much any of the girls in spearmint rhino are being held agaisnt their will they could surely find a better target rather than simply a high profile one.

I do hope the names of the people who paid the private investigators are public knowledge, at least.

When you design tactics to maximise suffering on civilian populations and your only constraint is operational rather than moral, you've told the world who you are.
