@andyburnham Kind of conversation we have in our classrooms... and I don't have a cartoon for my profile image either. To anyone else.. Don't be played by this.
Ann Widdecombe has possibly been murdered, and @SkyNews thinks it’s appropriate to have a man discussing whether she was a virgin.
Why would whether a woman had ever had penetrative sex be relevant to her possible murder?
He then went on to speculate, on mainstream media, that it was a robbery gone wrong rather than politically motivated. That may ultimately prove to be the case, but speculation about motive before the facts are established has no place in responsible news coverage.
The first instinct when discussing a woman who may have been murdered should never be to reduce her to her sexual history. Ann Widdecombe deserved better. Every woman deserves better.
