In today's Torygraph, Brooke Magnanti questions the figures, suggesting they are based on previously proven flawed research, it fails to include male prostitutes, and they rely on research from Holland where prostitution is legal and regulated, so hardly a fair compariosn? And some of the reseach is based on pro$$ienet, which is hardly the most reliable of sources.
So, it's an unlevel playing field again, with the large figure getting headlines that are not really deserved. Rubbish reporting like this only galvanises the do-gooders to get on their soap boxes.
Certaunly worth a read:
