Object: Stripping the Illusion Campaign

BREAKING NEWS from Object":

"A new law will see an end to the licensing of lap dancing clubs as cafes! This is a crucial piece of legislation that allows local councils to apply vital conditions on clubs and that gives local people the right to object to a club opening on their high street. Importantly, this legislation allows gender equality issues to be taken into consideration in the licensing process. This is a major victory in the struggle against the mainstreaming of the sex industry and the mainstreaming of sexism and it could not have been won without the lobbying, campaigning and activism from all of you."
