£91,000 phone bill calling chatlines

Doubt the channels are discussed at cabinet meetings, unless it is just unofficial casual conversation. However the MP that was in communication with Kev was eager to put forward certain questions/raise issues at PM's question time, but since Kev has now decided to leave these issues alone, then it wont be happening on their behalf.

I for one am taking MONEY BANG seriously. I'm sure the babe channels are often discussed at cabinet meetings.

Yup, another area where EU rules have been over enthusiastically implemented while our European partners do the minimum.

If there were no babe channels there would still be plenty of adult phone lines and chat lines available, so I fail to see why the channels should be a particular cause of concern. All the channels do is promote services which would exist anyway, the same as many newspapers and magazines advertise such things.

Could you please read the post that I made in its entirety, I have also highlighted a relevant issue in bold:

This MP serves the people, society, just because someone should be a registered member of this forum does not mean that they should be excluded from society and not be deserving of assistance.

I have encountered many people who cannot call the channels due to both health issues (speech impediment) and financial issues (their parents control their funds), yet they are consumed by and unable to control their addiction.

For many people an 11 digit number advertised in the back of a magazine does not have the same allure as a woman live on your TV screen, hence the reason why the channels invest in paying live production staff and live models.

Bigglesworth: If you can say, in all honesty, that there are not people who spend the vast percentage of their day watching and tweeting the Babe Show performers and visiting internet websites dedicated to the babe shows, then there is not a problem.

Why does it matter what people do with their time? Some people spend all their waking hours playing video games or hanging out in bookmaker shops. Surely it's better to watch babe channels all night than smoke crack?

Addicted to gambling? There is help/rehabilitation/counselling via the NHS.
Addicted to illegal narcotics? There is help/rehabilitation/counselling via the NHS.

Now imagine if you were to "come out" and tell family/friends that you are addicted to alcohol/drugs/gambling.. They would most likely feel sympathy for you and point you towards health professionals. Tell your close friends and family that you are addicted to tweeting and watching the babe channels and, well you guess the result.

You chose to ignore this point that I put to you:

"If you can say, in all honesty, that there are not people who spend the vast percentage of their day watching and tweeting the Babe Show performers and visiting internet websites dedicated to the babe shows, then there is not a problem."

Those victims do exist, that problem exists. And there should be help and understanding for those who are addicted to Babe Shows.

There may not be a specific 'Babeshows Anonymous', but it is my understanding that there IS help available via various organisations (charities, NHS mental health groups etc) for addictions of ALL kinds, both physical and mental, which would include this kind of addiction.
Getting access to that help may be more difficult, because this is a very specialist type of addiction, and the resources available are not as plentiful as for the more common addictions, and the help is more specialised and therefore the people providing it are more thin on the ground, but it is out there.

Then and only then should it be believed. As I have said before this plot was conceived by ad men, as a way of making the people that phone up these sites feel smug about their control of something that can destroy some people, It makes them think the amounts they frittered away is justifiable compared to the money that Kev spent. I await to be proved wrong.

Well then there is a high level Government conspiracy as a senior member of the conservative party has been offering assistance and guidance to Kev during this incident.

I have sent your their personal phone number via DM and they can confirm to you that Kev is real and not a fictional character created by an advertising agency.

Well Money Bang, you believe what you want to. But if you do really think someone from the Tory party would sully him/her self by involving themselves in something so unsavoury. Then I must say. "No it will never happen. NO, NEVER"!!

Oh Rammy,Rammy,Rammy. Whatever thread, subject, or general chat, my desire in life is not to see Dionne shift her lovely arse a little more often, or OSGs to suddenly become smaller, or maybe for all the tattoos in the world to fade away. No it's none of these things, what I want is for you to once in your Babe Channel life critisise something. Take it from me it is not as good as you portray it to be. You would please me, and i'm sure others by shouting as loud as you can, "THE SHOWS LAST NIGHT WERE FUCKING SHITE". And then stamp your feet very hard. Whilst going red in the face. Thank you.

Unsavory? Offering support to victims is unsavory? Setting up a scheme to assist those who are unable to work back into paid employment is unsavory?

If they were campaigning for less regulation, freedom to have explicit content broadcast on TV, then yes, that would be viewed as "unsavory" in Conservative terms, helping those who are on long term sickness due to addiction (such as Kev, by his own admission in interviews) back to work is well in line with Conservative political mantra.

Besides, Kev has told the senior Conservative that he no longer wishes to assist in setting up such a foundation, unless someone else who is willing and able to confront their addiction steps up to assist in the foundations creation, then it is on hold.

"RESPONSIBLE ADULT" you seem to have missed numerous points in this discussion. You said previously that Kev does not exist, that he is a fictional character created by an advertising agency. May I suggest you read this link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...iness.html
