London cops are screwing hookers for the Olympics
Clean up operation: Sex workers are being 'cleaned off the streets' to make London more presentable for the Olympics

Hard times have befallen London's sex workers.

Police are shutting down brothels and driving prostitutes from the streets - all in hopes of making the city a bit more hooker-free in time for the Olympics.

In the past year alone, claims a charity group, 80 houses of ill repute have been shuttered across the five Olympic boroughs, The Sun reports, while prostitution arrests have surged well above the norm.

Host nations have been known to take drastic measures to clear areas of undesirables prior to the games. At the previous Olympics in Beijing in 2008, Chinese authorities pushed out migrant workers and homeless beggars.

Is this smart public relations or an overreaction?
