The disturbances in Leeds have nothing to do with the politics of the subcontinent.

I bet every time you’ve victim blamed a woman and said, ‘why didn’t she just leave?’
You hadn’t considered ‘incase he ties up her and her family and kills them all with a crossbow’, as one of the options.
We know for most women, the most dangerous moment in abuse is when they try to leave. You are most likely to be seriously attacked or killed as you leave, or just after you leave.
That was certainly true for me. Twice. One time resulted in lifelong injuries. Both resulted in police investigations and arrests. Just from choosing to end the relationship.
So next time you learn that a woman is stuck in abuse and can’t/won’t leave, maybe reserve your judgement and consider how much risk she knows she is at.
I posted about this before, but last month I was a witness in court describing how a man that I did not know, and had never met, battered me at my front door.
His defence solicitor Kieran Clegg said I brought it on myself three times in court- because I didn’t shut the door.
Even when you get as far as court there is a sneering male defence solicitor right there to cheer their male client on that batters you.
