    I don’t have a strong opinion on this, since I’m so detached from the whole thing. Isn’t that literally the point? If sex work is banned, then people who worked in that industry can’t keep making a living in that industry. So?

    Equivalent to “gun shop workers can’t make a living anymore after firearms ban”. No shit.

      Sex work is still legal in the UK.

      This is like the government banning “topless nudity” and waking up to find a site has deleted any pictures showing exposed shoulders.

        My fault for not reading past the headline… But also, the way it’s written kind of sounds like the way I interpreted it, doesn’t it?

        Not legally, no. And if the government/police starts really cracking down on cocaine dealers, would you feel bad for the ‘honest, hard-working’ drug dealers who just can’t make a living in this industry anymore?
