Funny, just shows the kirk (like all the others) is more interested in propoerty income than in the welfare of women and morality!

It figures. Many years ago, during the General Assembly month (May) the "houses of ill repute" were at their busiest. Now, the Kirk has its own Sex Sauna. You really couldn't make this stuff up!

Or maybe they don't go round every week checking exactly what all their tenants are up to. It's COS, not CIA! But of course, that couldn't at all be plausible, must be that the church is evil...

It's merely symptomatic of a broken society.If you listen to the lefty elites all the prostitutes are sad victims of our materialistic society . Of course the reality is quite different,as its often an easy way of making a nice living for those with morals (and often IQ) equal to an alley cat. The police should be acting to remove this scourge from our cities, and it's time the "bleeding hearts" stopped making excuses. They are bottom of the gene pool scum and should be treated as such.

#7. Peedie Paws ... you're absolutle right. I must've had a Chuckles Linskaill moment! OR ... was hoping the whole of religion and its adherents could be exiled to Room 101.

Whew! Got out of that ne by the skin of my teeth!!! :D

#10, Boy Wonder, I wish religion was exiled into Room 101. Wonder where that trapdoor on Paul Merton's desk goes to? Where do the objects of people's hate and annoyance end up? Probably on this comments page!

I quite agree, it is about time that we got rid of the Church of Scotland and all similar religious organisations.

The church obviously are looking out for the welfare of these women; by providing them with a venue to make lots of money.
