I actually sat with the CEO of @BasisSexWork whilst this journalist @charleshymas interviewed her for this article. Not only has he not mentioned Basis once, but he has deliberately excluded all the positive facts she gave him about the work they do.

The sex workers of Leeds are not responsible for this. In Leeds, people also have sex with non sex workers (weird!)
