Once the industry does start to die, however, it will be pseudo-nationalised through EU subsidies to be kept alive and there will be a ban on "imports" from Russia and Asia.
Meaning, of course, that not only will it be more or less dead, but an international embarassment, complete with the French posturing about how their prostitutes are still the prettiest in the world while everyone else is laughing at them.
