UK Strip Clubs Blog

The new unconstitutional strip laws which have been hanging over the industry are set to come into force in 1 month from today, the 1st of April is the right time for them…the lap dancing and strip industry is worth around £2 billion per year to the UK economy and it remains to be seen how much of that will be left when New Labour are through with it.

Apart from the jobs and money that will be lost it allows more say to local residents, meaning any sort of complaint or pressure can get clubs closed or licenses revoked, so expect a flood of complaints backing up the local council system as every crank, old person, bored housewife and religious type cloggs up the system with a million pointless crusades against clubs which have been open without complaint for many years. The old system gave people a chance to complain about problem clubs in specific areas, the new system gives anyone with an axe to grind the chance to complain about any clubs without any real reason. So we can expect long standing and well ordered venues to suffer no matter their record on disorder is, clubs with activists against them in their area can be forced out of business in a rather arbitrary way without reason.

The word witchhunt comes to mind. Basically anyone who wants to pursue a venue will have a platform wasting millions of our tax pounds, clogging up the system. Of course there is also the fact that the media was full of sex trafficking stories a few years ago, now the UK government are turning every lap dancer and stripper in the UK (overseas and UK born) into a sexworker! Every stripper from overseas who came here to be lap dancer when the legislation was different now finds herself in the situation of being re-classified as a ‘sex-worker’. Well done the UK government!!
