I just recently found the James English podcast....I've watched several episodes...a little binge watching lol...Two parts of this particular podcast hit me hard...where James mentioned eating his emotions...I do this...and also the "Why me?" I've asked myself this a lot....this podcast gave me hope Thank you

Just an FYI, it's not a Muslim thing not to smoke, drink alcohol, etc. That's all religions. As for the pork thing, you find that in Judaism and it also used to be a part of Christianity as it was difficult to keep bacteria from growing in pork while it was being transported.

[@AmandaQuincey-xy2kn]

@@jennifers7555 it’s definitely not a Muslim and Islamic thing. My grandma would say smoking and drinking now doesn’t look good. Going to bars on your own isn’t good right now. We got coffee shop so it’s not just a Muslim thing. It’s a Christianity also

[@carlosuploads2965]

As a dad with a daughter her story of saying goodbye to her Dad brought a tear to my eye. Her Dad is a hero for getting her out. It’s what any father would do even if it meant sacrificing your own to keep your children safe. This woman is an absolute warrior for being able to still smile through all she’s been through. Your content is amazing James. Keep up the great work. These stories need to be told ❤

[@xxbuxx]

Such a brave and beautiful soul.

[@chrisb6117]

Let this be a lesson to any man reading this who seeks "escorts" in the brothels and on websites like adultwork, every woman has a back story like this one and youre complicit in their torture and misery

[@nomadicdramatic2496]

Hi! I'm an independent English escort completely by choice and I love my job, so I don't think you can blanket the whole site under the same guise but I get what you mean. This is why they need to further legalise (it's not illegal to pay for sex in the UK except in Northern Ireland) and legitimise this business. If we followed in the footsteps of the Netherlands for example, I think it would give far less opportunity for this kind of modern slavery. There's a company called the CPE (collection of prostitutes in England) that are fighting to get a bill passed so that we can regulate it properly, if you fancy going down a rabbit hole one evening they're quite interesting to read into :) What this woman went through is horrific and is definitely still happening all over the world but to say every escort has the same backstory is diluting hers. Sex work is work, and it comes in all forms. This wasn't work this was exploitation.

[@chrisb6117]

[@Disneymumma]

​@nomadicdramatic2496 issue is if you legalise it will be much harder to prosecute for those who are trafficked as the act will be legal. Also morally a lot of people wouldn't be happy either

[@nomadicdramatic2496]

@@Disneymumma nothing immoral about working to provide for yourself and/or family, plus it's already legal, so 🤷‍♀️ Fact of the matter is you'll never be able to get rid of the sex trade, so we need to do it properly. It would better protect both provider and customer. It's absolutely everywhere and it's some of the most "normal" people you know. Not to mention the money the government could make on taxing it, and we're not a very rich country right now.

Gut-wrenching, remarkable story. Lurata is such an example of how love transforms the most vile evil. What a beautiful woman in every sense. Thank you James and Lurata. We're waking up to so much evil in this world through stories like this which have been hidden. This is the time of great light and awakening. Horrific as these truths are, the flipside is more wonderful. We're realising how incredible we are and that there are so many more good, well-intentioned and loving people than there are predators and psychopaths with no soul. More disclosures will bring us together, one human at a time. Bless you both. ♥

[@kimhandley4416]

It fills me with fear on how evil can come up from out the woodwork so quickly. We think that we are 'decent' in the UK, but say if a war happened, the fact of how quickly the monsters lurking, and how quickly everyday people who we think we know, would show their evil and would come out to play freely. They do it underground at present, but there aren't gangs of them coming around your house. Human's have always fascinated me and they fill me with fear, as devils walk amongst us.
