Putin's 'Iron Doll' TV host says Britain's brothels are losing a fortune ... trends now
Vladimir Putin's notorious 'Iron Doll' TV host has claimed train strikes in Britain are putting brothels out of business in a bizarre propaganda rant against the UK.
In her latest outlandish swipe at Britain, Olga Skabeyeva - known for her vitriolic backing of the war in Ukraine - claimed the recent industrial action has deprived prostitutes of clients.
'So every English brothel has already lost between £30,000 and £70,000 since January 3,' she informed Russian viewers in her prime time show without any .
State controlled TV in Moscow likes nothing better than disparaging stories about Britain.

'In Britain, rail strikes have resulted in, among other things, the first time that British prostitutes cannot receive their clients,' said propaganda show presenter Skabeyeva, 38.
Skabeyeva said punters are 'simply are unable to get to the ladies of love'.
'Electric trains are not running,' she said.
Sex workers were now 'the poor' as a result of the industrial action, she explained.

Her report was seized on by Ukrainian official Anton Geraschenko, with a sharp riposte.
'According to Skabeyeva, ordinary customers are now unable to get to the brothels by train because of the railway workers' strike,' he posted.
'Putin's faithful mouthpiece even calculated the amount of damage for each brothel.'
Even before the war began Putin's 'Iron Doll' Olga Skabeyeva was regularly spouting wild pro-Kremlin rants which have only intensified since Russian troops crossed into Ukraine on February 24 last year.
Along with her husband Yevgeny Popov, she has spread baseless conspiracy theories, overstated Moscow's war successes, parroted Kremlin lies about 'Nazis' in Ukraine, and issued dire warnings of World War Three and threats against the West.
Born in 1984 under the Soviet Union, Skabeyeva went on to study journalism at the Faculty of Journalism at Saint Petersburg State
