Re: ** B5 4EB Adult World, Hinckley Street, Birmingham
I note that the represetative of the Old Rep Theatre quoted in the article has also resorted to a fair amount of "WHAT-ABOUT-THE-KIDDIES?!!" rhetoric too. They've been trying to get Adult World closed down for years, so any claims they make should be taken with a pinch of salt, unless they...

Re: XX CLOSED AL3 3HB Junction9Exotic (formerly Waggon &Hors
Went the same way as the much missed Annie in Vauxhall. Tried to go upmarket and lost its soul. Err...didn't the Queen Anne close because Denise was murdered on holiday, and had planned to retire without a successor in any case? The strip pub is sadly now pretty much dead and I cannot see a rebirth...

Wow, talk about a misleading headine - it's not as though they're unlicensed now! And this (from the BBC article): 'Catherine Fullerton, City of Edinburgh Council's regulatory committee convener, said the move was aimed at "safeguarding public safety and preventing crime and disorder". She...

Re: Scotland consultations
Yes, but why is more not being done to challenge this kind of boilerplate nonsense? The GMB have done some sterling work in Glasgow, but I get the impression that most of the lessons learnt regarding SEV licensing in England and Wales and the tactics of the 'antis' just haven't filtered north of the...

Re: L2 6RG Angels Paradise, Liverpool
Curiously enough, the old address is still on the website!
New address:
31 Princes Street
LIVERPOOL
L2 6RG
The new location is very close to the legendary Cavern Club.

Tony, I've amended the title of this thread slightly, to reflect the fact that consultations are ongoing in Edinburgh and some other cities in Scotland, in addition to the recent one in Glasgow.

There's one curious omission in this article: the political pressure applied by radfem organisations to make it more difficult for licensed strip clubs to operate.

Men who identify as women...

Secondly, transwomen still in the process of transitioning officially have historica...

Re: Scotland Consultation.
Mind you, the Scottish government itself appears to be behind the cultural curve in this matter, and could probably save a lot of time and spadework by simply studying the effects and criticism of the Police and Crime Act 2009.

Re: Sheffield consultation
Nothing appears to be straightforward about this situation, not least because of the unauthorised - and possibly illegal - undercover filming that took place at Spearmint Rhino a few months ago. Personally, I'm surprised that Sheffield City Council hasn't suspended the consultation until the legal a...
