Banning them from the event should be taken as an opportunity to address the conditions that drive them to prostitution in the first place. Reduces the cost of 'clearing them from the CBD" any time the colonials from Britain come for a visit. I second acolyte’s statements.

But at the same time, I'm wondering how all those sex workers keep house and home together NOW if "that" is not "our" way of life. Men who like to be "Ethics Ministers" (and such) are often the very ones who -- behind closed doors -- are the first and worst at practicing those things they SO decry in public.
