Britain’s lap-dance clubs to be banned?


Woe to the male Britons when that time comes! Hehe! According to reports, lap-dancing clubs in Britain may soon be facing tougher laws following Britain government’s bid to clean up the country’s high streets. An increasingly large number of such clubs have sprung up in the UK following the relaxation of licensing laws in 2003 – with many showing full strip shows. They are not classified as “sex encounter” venues – making it easier to open despite locals’ objections.

But residents may now get a say after Licensing Minister Gerry Sutcliffe on June 18 vowed to close the loophole to clean up town centres. He has written to council chiefs to seek their views on how the laws can be toughened up. Sutcliffe fears the clubs could spread unless action is taken. Campaigners claim some lap-dancing bars show nude and semi-nude performances, often in private booths. Classifying lap-dancing clubs as “sex encounter” venues would put them on the same legal footing as strip clubs, peep shows and sex shops – making them tightly regulated.

The Sun quoted Kat Banyard, of the Fawcett Society women’s rights group, as saying: “Lap-dance clubs are part of the sex industry. Areas surrounding them can become no-go areas for women. But licensing rules mean local authorities cannot treat a lap-dance club any differently from a coffee shop. We urge the Government to untie the hands of authorities by licensing lap-dance clubs as sex encounter establishments. This would enable communities to have a greater say.”

Brooklyn seniors banned from graduation!

Three Brooklyn high school seniors will be banned from their graduation ceremony because of a prank involving a cake that apparently was laced with laxatives. Department of Education spokeswoman Margie Feinberg said Wednesday that the cake sickened two crossing guards, a social worker and three teachers — two of them sought treatment at a hospital.

As punishment, the students will finish their year at an alternative learning center. They will be banned from their school, and a parent or guardian will have to escort them if they need to stop by the Brooklyn School for Global Studies. Feinberg says the students didn’t realize anyone would be harmed. The NYPD is testing the cake’s ingredients, but Feinberg says a laxative is suspected.

“Mosquito” device banned!

The Mosquito device which emits a high-pitched sound to disperse groups of youths was banned by Kent’s local authority today to protect their rights. About 3,500 Mosquitos have been used in shopping centres, parks and shops in England since being introduced in January 2006. Its sound causes discomfort to young ears but is above the normal hearing range of people over 25. The Association of Convenience Stores (ACS), which represents 33,000 local shops, has said the device can counter anti-social behaviour.

Councillors in Kent decided against installing them on the county council’s buildings after talking to their youth members. They felt there was a contradiction in their duty to represent young people and respect their views. They now plan to lobby the government for a nationwide ban. Mike Hill, the community services member on the council, said: “These devices are abhorrent and give the wrong message to our young people. The noise may result in youngsters moving away from an area when they are causing no harm.”
