Marian June Akin (born 11 August 1952), formerly known professionally as Lindi St Clair or Lindi St Claire, is a British author, leader of the Corrective Party,[1] and campaigner for prostitutes' rights.[2]
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",[3] 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,[4] and once to the European Parliament.[5]
