400 jobs are at risk of closure because of the council's plan to adopt a 'nil policy' on clubs that would put an end to the renewal of licenses.
The sex workers and adult entertainment branch of the GMB say that this is a very independent and creative business, unlike the larger; well-known 'chain strip clubs'. To destroy it would be to ruin one of the great characteristics of Shoreditch that has directly fed into the music, arts, and performance scene in the area. They are pro-freedom and anti-censorship.
"Adults chose to work in these pubs and chose to go to these pubs, nothing illegal is happening. Strippers are not victims and owners are not all wicked old men. All adults should be free to choose their employment and entertainment."
