1 in 4 women in the UK have been raped or sexually assaulted since the age of 16
6 in 7 rapes against women in the UK are carried out by someone they know
5 in 6 women who are raped in the UK don’t report it to the police
Fewer than 3 in 100 rapes recorded by UK police in 2024 resulted in someone being charged that same year
It is an abhorrent crime committed by cowards. Every perpetrator put in prison is a blessing.
Russell Brand found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault bbc.in/4ip1NNA

If she reports immediately, she's accused of trying to ruin a famous man's career.
If she waits, she's accused of inventing it years later.
If she tells nobody, she's accused of having no corroboration.
If she tells friends, she's accused of spreading rumours.
If she continues working in the same industry, she's accused of not being sufficiently traumatised.
If she leaves the industry, she's accused of being bitter about her failed career.
If she liked the man, she's accused of regretting consensual sex.
And if she disliked him, she's accused of having a grudge.
You CANNOT win.

People are working 40 hours a week, skipping meals, buying groceries on credit cards, and still falling behind on rent.
They're not buying yachts or taking luxury vacations. They're trying to fucking survive.
And some rich asshole tells them they're living beyond their means.

We need to end this myth that the private sector runs things well, and the public sector runs things badly, before it is too late.
It is very easy to make the public sector look bad by starving it of money and resources over time. We must learn to see through this.

Kemi Badenoch bemoans lack of "home grown" nurses, she was in the tory government that tripled tuition fees, scrapped education maintenance grants and allowances that helped poorer students, removed bursaries from nursing students, imposed years of pay freezes on NHS staff.

Who has forgotten them? - literally no one - those men and women are our families. Now that your pal the rapist is fucked - your new grift is ‘war heroes’. Everything you touch turns putrid, every word is poison - one stinking carcass of money grabbing hate.

Speaking of not forgetting

That fact that Elon Musk would call James Talarico "pure evil" and a "creep" and said Russell Brand is "not evil" should tell you exactly the type of person musk is.

So odd how we're not calling years of below-inflation pay rises "quiet paycutting"
'Quiet quitting' could be hitting the economy - here's why bbc.in/4ijTORZ

Leek and Potato soup £1.50? no not a tin, freshly prepared in the House of Commons!
Baked jacket potato £1.50 with cheese an extra £1.
Why don't they cut their own benefits? they are quick enough to try and target the sick, disabled and elderly.

At the Budget, the Government introduced a higher tax on bank mega-profits to help fund support for people's energy bills.
Last night, Reform MPs voted AGAINST it.
Remember that the next time they claim to be on the side of ordinary people.
