Her name is Gina Martin. She was at a music festival in London when a man pushed his phone between her legs and took a photo under her skirt. She reported it to the police immediately. They told her it wasn't a criminal offence. There was nothing they could do.
She went home and decided that was unacceptable. With no legal background, no political connections and no funding she launched a campaign to make upskirting a criminal offence in England and Wales. She petitioned. She lobbied MPs. She spoke publicly about what had happened to her. The government initially blocked the bill.
She kept going. The Voyeurism Act passed in January 2019. Upskirting now carries up to two years in prison. Scotland followed. Other countries are following. A woman at a festival with no lawyer, no funding and no political connections rewrote the law for an entire nation in eighteen months.
@OllieHarden good fcking morning
I’m still waiting for an apology to the black community!!!
Specifically black women.
The longer it takes the longer I’ll harass you mate.
Also I would like a video now not a statement. I need to see you say word for word you apologise
To this Queen right here, may this just be the beginning of your many trips to F1 races being in the paddock and rubbing shoulders with F1 elites. I will mention you on the prayer line 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Right it’s time to throw in my 2 cents that nobody asked for…
So far there is one source (Planet F1) talking about this - not exactly the most reliable
We have heard no statements for either person involved and it was NOT a track marshal but likely someone in a paid role (🧵)
Thandie and Nyasha did more for F1 than any other online personalities in the last several years. They brought light to the sport while experiencing so much hate. What’s best about them is they have no shame in backing what they say unlike you racist idiots scared to own up to it
@thanos876 The story had to be covered. No doubt in my mind about that.
But I have also been appalled and disgusted by the abuse she’s received. Nobody deserves that.
I wish her well.
🚨🇫🇷 La última vez que Francia perdió un partido eliminatorio en una Copa del Mundo fue en 2014.
Ese mismo año, Lewis Hamilton conquistó su segundo título mundial.
En su segundo año en un equipo nuevo.
En el primer año de un nuevo reglamento.
Hoy, Francia volvió a caer en una fase eliminatoria...
Lewis Hamilton en su segundo año en un equipo nuevo
Y, una vez más, estamos viviendo el primer año de un nuevo reglamento. 👀❤️
every now and then i need to remind myself that i genuinely don’t care about football if it’s not the wc, euros or cl finals and i actually think it’s a very stupid sport 😭✋
Having failed to provide Thandie with a full & fair opportunity to respond, Harden’s attempt below to claim a journalistic obligation to publish a story about a non-event falls flat. He should have acted like a journalist if he wanted to defend himself as one.
