The Bristol Feminist group previously tried to lay all the blame on crime on the clubs so this will be a fight I watch closely.

The fact that the catholic church has been against Kant is interesting but I would have thought they would have agreed given Kant's stance on sex and masturbation. I wonder where he would have stood if he could see modern society? I am disappointed though that this is the best they can do. I have read Martha Nussbaum and the standford definition of objectification but it is soul destroying as the view is sex is a bad thing.Chasmalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791910774345073277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169454082586985027.post-15309790177926017722015-07-29T17:38:01.326+01:002015-07-29T17:38:01.326+01:00Re 'objectification': you need to go back...Re 'objectification': you need to go back to Immanuel Kant, if you're looking for anything substantial on that subject! Most of the rest of what's been written is ideological waffle, with academics quoting one another without citing any real evidence or producing any new arguments; Women's / Gender Studies departments are notorious for their lack of intellectual rigour. Curiously, the radfems almost never cite Kant in public as a source, nor that other dead, white male responsible who was the source of Patriarchy Theory, Friedrich Engels - funny, that!The Great Smell Of Brutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221303070617233589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169454082586985027.post-3102158019744925082015-07-28T22:03:17.399+01:002015-07-28T22:03:17.399+01:00I suspect that Wrexham has peaks and troughs with ...I suspect that Wrexham has peaks and troughs with the football, rugby and racing. Plus it pulls a lot from the smaller communities on the borders. The town is probably right that 3 would see one club at least suffer.<br /><br />Leeds though is a prime example of a massive population but the decision making is in the hands of a few. Still we never know how things will turn out and if people spot license renewals I will at least make it public so any local reading the blog is referred to this page.Chasmalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791910774345073277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169454082586985027.post-29430773717804029292015-07-28T20:29:34.610+01:002015-07-28T20:29:34.610+01:00I agree with you that the market will usually set ...I agree with you that the market will usually set the appropriate number for a given locality on its own. Personally though, I'm surprised that Wrexham, with a population of about 60,000, can support as many as two clubs! Perhaps its the presence of students which makes a difference...<br /><br />Do you remember all the fuss when Bedford Borough Council received an application for a new strip club in the town back in 2012? And the subsequent imposition of a 'nil' limit on SEVs? Now, Bedford has a population of about 100,000; but previous strip clubs in the town have proven unviable, not least because of the difficulty in recruiting dancers locally. And when Shayler's in nearby Ampthill was granted its SEV licence by Central Bedfordshire Council in late 2012, it was only a matter of months before it reverted to being run as a standard nightclub, for similar business reasons.<br /><br />Conversely, when three striptease venues in Leeds were forced to shut down by the City Council in 2013 (amongst much controversy, as documented at the time on this blog and elsewhere), the retail / leisure units that housed them lay empty, with only one of them having recently been put back into use.<br /><br />Perhaps the Licensing Departments of local authorities would be more gainfully employed in looking at the working conditions in strip clubs, rather than interfering with market forces for ideological reasons.The Great Smell Of Brutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221303070617233589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169454082586985027.post-17090328988931571602015-07-28T17:16:54.741+01:002015-07-28T17:16:54.741+01:00I have no doubt those places with limits already i...I have no doubt those places with limits already in place will not go over the limit unless another club is closing. And even then probably not. I have always preferred the market to set the number. If a club knows it faces no competition then the working practices will be awful.Chasmalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791910774345073277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169454082586985027.post-16639836620384467092015-07-28T11:58:10.705+01:002015-07-28T11:58:10.705+01:00One small correction re Wrexham: the signatures w...One small correction re Wrexham: the signatures were collected on FOUR petitions, not one. And the religious lobby appears to have been out in force to oppose the club. <br /><br />What's notable about the comments of many of the objectors quoted in the local press is that (yet again) some of them made the false link between SEVs and sexual violence, and criminality in general, when such claims have been debunked thoroughly. One or two even made comments which read suspiciously like moral objections, which are discounted under Police and Crime Act 2009, and which was remarked upon in the Licensing Committee meeting.<br /><br />Perhaps the pivotal fact of this matter is the imposition of a limit of two SEVs in Wrexham in 2009, meaning that the club's owners would have had to present a compelling argument for a third venue to be allowed to open in the town.The Great Smell Of Brutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221303070617233589noreply@blogger.com
