At the start of darts matches, they had pretty girls accompanied the players on to the stage. The PC lot have banned this,as 'demeaning to woman'. Try telling that to the poor girls who have lost their jobs.

Try telling that to the poor girls who have lost their jobs. The "PC lot" haven't banned anything. The Professional Darts Corporation have stopped the practice. Yes, it's bad for the women (if they were actually employed by the PDC and not on a short term contract from a modelling agency), but I doubt that many signing the petition to reinstate them have signed petitions to reinstate those people sacked by councils as a result of national Govt "Austerity" policies, say.

Naïve of you not to think that this is all down to PC Of course it is as we hurtle headlong with the moral outrage to a puritan society. It will soon be non U to smile at a woman or their will be celebrity faux protests

Walk-on girl Charlotte Wood, who says darts accounts for 60 per cent of her income, says her rights "are being taken away".
"We regularly review all aspects of our events and this move has been made following feedback from our host broadcasters," said a PDC spokesperson.
Wood, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, said: "Everybody chooses to do a job, and I feel like if I'm being told I can't do this job, then my rights are being taken away.
"I have chosen to do this job. I go to work, I put on a nice dress and I escort darts players on to the stage. I smile and that is it. I don't honestly see what the problem is.

Yes, it's bad for the women involved: but I don't think the people signing petitions against the decision give much of a toss about them.
Bryan: it's a private company, making a business decision. Would there be a petition if they had decided to sack all their cleaners?

Would there be a petition if they had decided to sack all their cleaners? If the cleaners paraded around in glamourous frocks then yes. Remember Miss World, another event where the moralists/feminists struck I think the glamour girls who read the news or do the weather forecast should beware, the militants will target them next

That's the point: none of this has anything to do with people losing their jobs.
You do know attractive women can be also be talented, don't you?
They really ought to get rid of those kids walking onto the pitch with football players. That's just stupid.

When no participating individuals are making decisions on who can and cannot carry out their legitimate affairs, you have the basis for a police state.
I have never had the need to visit a prostitute (sorry, now to be called a 'sex-worker')however this does not mean (a) that others do not have the need or (b) that women who want to cater for those who do need this cannot ,because such non-participating individuals deem it improper. Equally if the football fraternity wish to give underprivileged children the excitement of walking on to the pitch with their heroes, no one has the right to deny them .

Good post Arena.
I know a wee bit about youngsters going onto the pitch with footballers. They are usually called 'mascots' and sometimes their parents have paid for them to be allowed to be said mascot. Sometimes they are underpriviliged children, sometimes children with life threatening conditions. What is the problem with any of these scenarios? The boys and girls will remember it for a long time.
The same with sex workers as long as it is their choice. I would be much happier if they were working in legalised brothels where their health and well being was prioritised.

It's the darts company that's stopped it, no one else. There were hundreds of thousands made redundant when the Tories got in (from their "Austerity" policies), which was all kinds of wrong but it wasn't a police state.
And I say again: I do not think the petition has anything to do with women losing work.
The comment about football mascots was a joke: it used to be that each team had a mascot, if that; now it's each player and probably the managers and referees and linesmen and ground stewards as well.
"Sex workers" is a term used to unite everyone who works in the sex industry; besides, "prostitute" has become tainted through having been used for too long as a metaphor, and also as a verb ("Prostituted", removing any agency) by anti-sex work campaigners. I'd agree that no one has any right to tell them they can't do it.

When I was single and living in Russell Square, I voted for Miss Whiplash, who stood on a ticket of legalizing prostitution. How it is still 'back-street' in the 21st century truly baffles me. A humanist policy of allowing all people to do what they please,with the proviso that it does no harm to others, is what is needed.

I'm not aware of many "darts women" who have been made redundant thanks to Tory austerity. In fact the unemployment figures are the lowest for years but don't tell the left 'cos they don't want to believe it - it doesn't suit their dogma BTW Isn't the current term for prostitutes "working girls"?

I was making the comparison between how all the anti-PC people are supposedly getting up in arms about putting people out of work at a darts tournament and how much they complained when it was council workers being put out of work (as a result of deliberate Govt policy).
No; it's Sex Workers.
