Putting aside the issue of trafficking...
In a free country, humans should have the right to prostitute themselves if they want to. Anything less is fascist and unacceptable. If two consenting people are in a private place and doing things that they are both agreeing to do, then it isn't the law's business to tell them what they can and can't do, or whether they can exchange money for it.

As far as I know in the UK prostitution is legal in the same way it is in France. You can order an escort but legally you're not allowed to pay for the sex so they pretend the money given afterwards is just a gift.

Maybe the law has changed but as far as I know standard prostitution in both countries is still illegal although the authorities often turn a blind eye to brothels. The only countries in Europe where prostitution is legal(as far as I know of, maybe I'm wrong) are the Netherlands and Germany.

I guess I was wrong too. I was under the impression that paying for sex was also illegal in France but I guess not.

(oh dear!)
there's enough moral police enforcers, and propaganda to fill the 'civilized' world.
....
look up 'judiciary discretion'.
all depends on the copper (aka: paid and sanctioned CUNTS. look up rotherham england while you're at it.) doing the stopping?!
there was a time when even cannabis was 'decriminalized' but i saw through the lip-service bullshit in a flash.
ALL that happened, is coppers can make up a reason to arrest (and detain for weeks) and fuckin did!
decriminalization amped up the 'hard rock school boys' and MORE arrests and convictions were made, still are.
...
1, when the prpaganda tell us NOT to panic, it's the PERFECT time to panic, and prepare.
2, what the gvt says, take it in reverse. we are dealing with LEGALESE here. (total bullshit. on the streets, in irl, results matter, and there's none i can speak of from this POV.)
3, it's a given, they're liars. the law is selectively enforced...as it is much of the globe. (that's the problem, humans are police and all of them are subject to outright corruption IF they do their time in service...knowing all the perks.)
...
bunk subject!

Appropriately since weed is mentioned above, weed and prostitution are industries that thrive in nearly every country even when it's illegal. No laws are gonna ever stop them, so they may as well legalize both and make money from taxes whilst wasting less money trying to police it.

^^ on one hand, it's true!
things would be easier (for the peoples) if weed/whoring was written into the doctrines...
but that'll NEVER happen:
1, UK/england prides itself on being the last, and the latest in line. (a british rail remark is very apt right now.)
2, the most important, is the PHONY AS FUCK 'war on drugs/vice'...there's MUCH more money to be made in overheads in this so-called fight. the interests of the gvt/BANKSTERS won't be met if they did allow/legalize/DECRIMINALIZE vice.
...
that's all really.
i'm NOT buying the hype!
england is run by bullshitters with guns and resources.
just a matter of time when...???!!!!????!!!

As far as I got it, some groups are trying to ban it, but so far they got rejected:

- Wow, even Turkey tops America:

In Turkey, prostitution is legal and regulated. Prostitutes must register and acquire an ID card stating the dates of their health checks. Also it is mandatory for registered prostitutes to have regular health checks for sexually transmitted diseases. The police are allowed to check the authenticity of registered prostitutes to determine whether they have been examined properly and to ensure they see the health authorities if they don't.

And some Americans have nothing else to do but stalking "Johns":

Pathetic.

Turkey's laws are more secular than most European countries despite the population being rather conservative outside of the west of the country. Ataturk based the Turkish penal and civil code on the French one and tried hard to de-islamify the country back in the day.
