"Three Stories of Prostitution in the West: Prostitutes' Groups, Law and Feminist Truth", ''Journal of Gender & Law'', 26 (1994).〕 Originally a prostitute, but now retired and confirmed as a Christian, in 1993 St Clair accused the Inland Revenue in the High Court of England of being "Her Majesty's pimps",〔"Lindi St Clair strikes back against taxman: Miss Whiplash defiant over bankruptcy", (''The Independent'' (London), 27 May 1993 ).〕 and living off immoral earnings, after its classification of prostitution as a trade in a high-profile court case. St Clair stood for election to Parliament 11 times.〔Life After Debt by Peter Phillips, Troubador Publishing Ltd, 2010〕 ==Biography== Born in Hackney, London, Lindi St Clair's real name was Marian June Akin. She grew up in Swindon, Wiltshire, where she went to school and at 14 years of age became a beatnik, then a mod, then a rocker and a biker, running away from home to London where she associated with the rockers and Hells Angels. She found employment in a few menial jobs before becoming a prostitute on the streets and, not drinking, smoking or taking drugs, was able to save enough money to buy a large freehold Victorian end-of-terrace house in Earls Court. Here she ran a lavish brothel frequented by British and international politicians and aristocrats as a high-profile Madam and dominatrix. For many years from the mid-1970s until her bankruptcy in 1992 (after the Inland Revenue pursued her for tax evasion),〔See case of ''Inland Revenue Commissioners v. Aken'' () (1 WLR 1374).〕〔''Taxation'', Volume 126 Ronald Staples. Taxation Pub. Co., 1991.〕 St Clair offered sexual services from her own large four-storey house at Eardley Crescent in Earls Court, London. A very successful professional dominatrix and madam, she once owned a yellow Rolls Royce and had her own yacht, which she kept at Bray in Berkshire. In 1991 it emerged St Clair was renting Chancellor of the Exchequer Norman Lamont's basement flat in Notting Hill.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Daily Mirror, 28 February 2009. )〕〔Great parliamentary scandals: five centuries of calumny, smear and innuendo by Matthew Parris, Kevin MacGuire. Robson, 2004〕 At one time, she claimed that 252 Members of Parliament had been her clients. She has appeared on television and radio on many occasions, including on ''The Ruby Wax Show'' and ''The James Whale Show''. Despite being taxed on her earnings, St Clair found when she attempted to register the companies "Prostitutes Ltd", "Hookers Ltd" and "Lindi St Clair (French Lessons) Ltd" that they were all rejected by the Registrar of Companies, and then "Lindi St Clair (Personal Services) Ltd" by the Attorney General.〔Briefcase on Company Law by Michael Ottley〕 St Clair spelled her surname "St Claire" between 1974 and 1985 and has also used the names Miss Whiplash, Carla Davis and Lily Lavender. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lindi St Clair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
