The brainchild of one Sandra White MSP, over the last 15 years has been to launch public consultation after public consultation in attempts to close down Glasgow’s adult entertainment venues.

The latest is an ongoing consultation which ends in August seeking to license the clubs in a way which could see them closed down for good. 

When I was on national TV a few weeks ago debating the issue with Sandra, she said she hadn’t engaged with dancers many years ago when they petitioned for her to meet with them because she didn’t “believe” it came from the girls themselves. 

What she fails to acknowledge time and time again is that dancers in Glasgow’s adult entertainment venues are happy, safe and want to keep their jobs! Workers within the clubs are also becoming unionised with GMB union. 

There is now a public consultation ongoing in Edinburgh and Aberdeen.  

There are around 700 dancers working across Scotland and it’s time she asked them! I want to live in a Scotland which is progressive and recognises the right of a woman to have autonomy over her own body. 

Please sign the petition and spread the word! We want as much tangible info as possible to feed into our wider campaign to keep the clubs open.
