I've signed.

With a 1% conviction rate, Rape is all but legal in the UK and we have a misogynistic force - known for harbouring rapists and losing evidence - investigating allegations.
A more apt question might be: Why would she report it?

The Road is one of the greatest novels, not because of the story or what happens. It's an ultimate lesson in creative writing. The skill to describe that landscape repeatedly, on almost every page and make it different. Both never the same but always the same. #CorrmacMcCarthy
