She reported it to the police & had a rape kit done. The police thought there was a high chance of conviction. The housemate whose friend it was testified against him. He got off. 3 days after the guilty she tried to commit suicide & stayed in a psyche hospital for a year. 2/3

I have never been sexually assaulted, I've known women who have. I've only one woman where it went to trial. My friend was 26 & lived in a shared house. One morning a friend of one of her housemates stayed after everyone has gone. He raped her. Then went on his way. 1/2

NI numbers should be deactivated when visas expire, with a payroll submission with an inactive NI number being passed straight to the immigration service.

It’s the failure of Government departments to even try to use the data they have which is so annoying.

What the hell?

▪️Ben told nurses that he’d been raped and sexually assaulted by a celebrity (later referred to in the inquest as Mr X).

▪️Mr X sent a letter to the family after Ben’s death “explaining their relationship”.

▪️Ben’s father emailed the Met Police investigating officer to ask why they’d never interviewed Mr X, as sexual abuse, cocaine and rape had been reported by witnesses, and requested that Mr X be interviewed about Ben’s disclosure of rape and other sex assaults.

▪️But the Met told the inquest that there was no conclusive evidence that Ben had been raped.

▪️During the inquest, the coroner declined to call key witnesses – including the nurse in whom Ben confided about being raped - and concealed Mr X’s identity following an informal agreement with his lawyers.

They’re terrified because they know rape doesn’t mean “stranger in a dark alley” now. It’s the boyfriend who ignores no. The date that forces you to perform a sex act you didn’t want to. The friend who comes into your bedroom when he was supposed to be keeping you safe. And they know what they did.

I live nowhere near Bristol, but if you do and you're going to go, start her off with a massive standing ovation, because what she's done is truly heroic.

Men learning about this is picturing some handsome Chad, meanwhile the agents seem to be normal guys just roleplaying as nice guys simps for lonely women.

Funnily you learn more about women from this than any Redpill or modern day male dating guru content thats popular today...

“The attacker had more than 170 previous offences, including 80 offences against vulnerable people.”

Well, of course he did. The is yet another demonstration of the British criminal justice system working as intended.

Comedian Lucy Beaumont speaking to @cathynewman on Sky just now is unmissable as an insight into how Walliams and others “slip through the net” despite the efforts of her and others.

A small 🧵if I may about Remembrance Sunday

I may have mentioned it once or twice but I was asked by my Chief Constable to represent SYP at the cenotaph, I jumped at the chance, the joining instructions arrived and as you can imagine they are very, very strict.

I’ve never told this story cuz I still feel badly about it, but…

I’m a 21-y.o. in college, and a good friend (foreign exchange student, ESL) shows up at my dorm room on Valentine’s Day morning with a candy apple and card:

me: Wow, thank you, this is so sweet of you, etc. etc. But…
she: ??
me: Well, I feel like I have to tell you this: friends really don't exchange V-day gifts in the U.S. It’s pretty exclusively seen as a romantic gesture.
she: *stares*
me: … But seriously, thank you, I do appreciate it! See you in the cafeteria later?
she: *continues staring*

So yeah, a lot of us are genuinely and utterly clueless.

REVEALED: An illegal Albanian drugs criminal has won the right to stay in Britain, six years after the Home Office ordered his deportation.

He spent a year in Belgium without claiming asylum, came to Britain in a lorry, and was jailed for growing cannabis within a year.

He didn’t claim asylum here until 2025. It was refused. The judge rejected all of his claims, including that he was trafficked and that his family was caught up in a blood feud in Albania.

But the Home Office failed to provide any evidence that his drugs offence caused harm, and quoted a 2007 Gordon Brown speech instead.

The judge said a “standard few paragraphs” from a police officer would have been “more than sufficient” to deport him. https://t.co/m1YjmRoveT

‘It wasn’t long until he asked me if I’d ever had sex before’: David Walliams accused of preying on young women for sex

[jack @el_lord_camel]

the TV chatshow host Jonathan Ross @wossy, opened the show with a joke pointedly referencing him (David Walliams): “The comedy awards is 15 years old – 15 years old! And like most 15-year-olds, it’s drunk, it’s unpredictable and it’s probably going home with David Walliams.”

Government imposed policy costs make up 57% of the clearing price of a new flat in London and 42% of a new home in the Home Counties.

Despite a big housing shortage and positive planning reforms, new home starts in England are declining from 182,000 in 2022 to under 125,000 last year.

While the macroeconomic context has worsened with build cost inflation and high interest rates, the Government is imposing more burdens on new homes, not fewer.

Taxes, levies, planning, and mandates add over £440,000 to the cost of delivering a home in London and nearly £225,000 nearby, with several of these imposed recently like the Second Staircase, Future Homes Standard, Building Safety Levy, Biodiversity Net Gain and Residential Property Developer Tax.

Individually these may be justified, but together they are making new homes unviable.

As a result, large developers are buying less land and small builders are going out of business; nearly 4,000 construction firms went bust just last year.

If we want to build more homes, we should be easing the burdens on them, not adding more.

Making housebuilding viable again is the most important issue in housing policy and my co-author, Edward Donovan, has completed excellent modelling showing how big the challenge is.

25.1% of the cost of your home goes towards building a home for someone who will most likely degrade your quality of life in ways you do and do not notice, and they will never say thank you.

Anyhow, to cut a long story short. She didn't press charges
Some years later this little bastard assaulted and violently raped his ex.
That entitled behaviour, that attitude towards women needs checking at a really early age.
There are no excuses
