punters to be criminalised for buying sex...

[Banjo]

It's an effort to tackle trafficing as opposed to stamp out an undesirable element of society. I'm not defending it, I think trafficing is disgusting yet I don't feel this it the way to deal with it.

This question was discussed here the last time this piece of legislation hit the headlines. It wasn't taken very seriously ... there were plenty people posting reasons for why it won't change anything.

Personally I'm not so sure. Now that the cross hairs would be focused on me as a punter, I'd think twice about going to see the girls any more. Feck that ...... too much to loose.

Just to answer your question, I do believe the industry would suffer because a lot of the demand would disappear.
