'Getting away with crime'

28 November 2008, 12:56

Dear Editor,

I have been informed that Mr Andrew Phillips has won his court case and is now stating that he is going to reopen the ranch, making it bigger and better than before.

As far as I know, prostitution is still illegal in this country, but if Mr Phillips can get away with running a brothel, then I have decided that I am going to open a knock-shop at every one of my branches of Teazers nationwide.

Do you have even a small inclination as to how much money I would make if my customers could have all their eggs in one basket?

I cannot believe that this is what the country has come to: have your assets seized and your club closed due to prostitution, but don't worry you'll get it all back.

All that the law is now saying is that you can commit a crime and get away with it.

Why are we paying taxes which go partly towards all the legal departments? Why should we even have legal departments? What happened to first legalising abortion before even thinking about prostitution?

I have always run Teazers with a clean slate and abided by the law with no prostitution and no drugs, however it now seems that it wasn't necessary for me to be so vigilant in this regard.

I think it is a case of certain people being exempt from the law, and if that is the case, I would like to know if I am on the list so I can also go around breaking the law and get an apology from the legal factor for standing in my way.

I would like to know what the public has to say regarding this issue.

Lolly Jackson
