How BREXIT Impacts Escorts and Punters
Politics and escort services have always had a close relationship. Whether it’s through legislation or politicians making use of the services of local escorts. With the recent vote to leave the EU, things are about to change for Punters and escorts.
The Impact of BREXIT on Punters
Punters in the UK have been given access to a growing number of escorts from across Europe over the past decade. Not only has the country seen in influx in workers across primary industries, the number of escorts from within the EU has exploded across the UK. The UK is now home to a huge community of Polish escorts, etc.
Is this set to change? We think so but not for quite some time yet.
The key issue is the free flow of people that has come with the opening of borders throughout the EU. It was the 1985 Schengen Agreement that led to the creation of Europe’s Schengen Area. That was designated an area in which internal border checks have largely been abolished. Through the loss of border control, the ease with which workers could travel has led to an influx of people from less developed countries into Germany, France and the UK.
There is an ongoing debate as to whether the loss of border control has also supported the wider spread terrorist threat from specific states. That’s a whole different story!
Fewer EU Escorts
There are a vast number of escorts who work in the UK. There is a potential threat to the number available within the UK. Yes, the numbers could dwindle as th UK initiates its plans to exit the EU. Whether the new PM, Theresa May, will push for an early exit is not clear. The signs are that she will attempt to extract the UK in a slow and measured way.
Tighter border controls and working conditions for those visiting the country can lead to fewer escorts available. This is a consequence of the need for visas and permits that can often be difficult for some to attain. Some escorts might just think it’s not worth the trouble.
As we have suggested, we do not envisage an immediate impact on the community. Indeed, there is an argument that we might see an increase in numbers over the short term as people attempt to gain UK citizenship.
Will that bother you?
Trafficking Control
We would hope to see a reduction in the number of women being trafficked into the UK. Human trafficking has grown significantly over the past few years.
There has been a large number of escorts from countries such as Romania, Bulgaria and others that have been trafficked to the UK.
Our hope is that tighter border controls can help the fight against human trafficking. The Impact of BREXIT on English Escorts
English escorts have seen a huge increase in competition from EU escorts over recent years. Any fall in the number of EU escorts will only help English escorts to regain some ground they may have lost.
Clearly this is a good thing!
The Outlook for UK Escorts
Overall, nothing will change in the short term. The outlook for UK escorts is bright. If the UK economy tanks and enter recession, UK escorts will likely see a fall in the number of Clients that can afford their services.
If the UK manages to cope with the economic instability and regains control then the likelihood is that UK escorts will continue to thrive.
Without the influence of Europe on legislation, the UK will have regained ownership of legal rights. This means we need to keep a close eye on any shifts in opinion and continue to lobby local politicians.
In eight European countries prostitution is legal. It is regulated but legal. The eight countries are The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Greece, Turkey, Hungary, and Latvia. There is an ongoing debate as to the success of the legislation in those countries but that is another debate. We would hope the UK can follow suit and create better regulation and visibility to negate the dangers or an underground market.
