Councils pay for prostitutes for the disabled
Taxpayers' money is being spent on prostitutes, lap dancing clubs and exotic holidays under schemes designed to give more independence to the disabled.
So sayeth the headline in today's Daily Telegraph.
England, ah, Merry Ole England. So progressive.
This is serious stuff.
"One local authority is using its budget to pay for the services of a prostitute in Amsterdam, while others have said visits to lap dancing clubs are permissible under new policies which transfer funds directly to those who receive care from social services. Holidays abroad, subscriptions for internet dating and driving lessons have all been funded by the taxpayer under a national initiative introduced by the last Government."
Real serious stuff.
The Brits are spending over a billion Canuckbucks on these various programs.
My fave story is the one about the "...local authority [that] has agreed a care plan including payment for a 21-year-old with learning disabilities to have sex with a prostitute in Amsterdam next month. His social worker, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said social services were there to identify and meet the needs of their clients – which, in the case of an angry and frustrated young man, meant paying for sex."
By the way, that is Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Whatever happened to shopping locally?
Is Monica Mint busy next month or something?
Peter Crouch will vouch for her skills.
