Adverts for strippers 'to be banned from Jobcentres'
A ban on using Jobcentres to advertise for strippers and lapdancers is expected to be announced this week.

Adult industry job adverts have been allowed in jobcentres since 2003, when lingerie chain Ann Summers won a legal fight to advertise for shop staff.

But the government is now expected to plan a change in the law to prevent another court battle.

The new ban is expected to apply only to so-called performance jobs, and not to adult industry shop or bar staff.

1. I wonder how many people have become strippers after seeing an advert in the jobcentre?

3. I'd have thought it would attract some interest.
After all, if you are in the Job Centre then the chances are that you are to some degree or other, a bit desperate.

4. Can't say I'm too upset about this.
I doubt whether the people who run the "adult industry" (now, there's a misnomer, if I ever heard one) are terribly interested in employee rights, employment satisfaction or even basic human dignity.
