Re: Meat market
"Presumably the bulk of customers for such markets are relatively local to the supply? The result of the ban will be to force the trade back into more traditional forms of advertising."
The law of unintended consequences probably means that somehow things will get worse. Lazy solutions to difficult social problems often have that effect. But people don't want to pay for, or take part in, the hard work of looking out for other people and police often do not want to intervene in what might look from the outside like a domestic matter.
Mussolini's solution to the problem was licensed, state run prostitution. Medical facilities, regular pay, supervised working conditions. Why visit some dodgy pimp? When a fascist dictator is more progressive than a Western democracy you know there's a problem.
