If male staff are in any way distracted by children's knees, I don't think they should be allowed anywhere near a school, to be honest.

You could literally land a plane by yourself after your instructor jumps to his death mid flight and they’d still use a picture of a man

This is Callum Peacock. He battered his girlfriend with a golf club, threw bleach and paint at her, and burned a memorial shirt of her deceased grandmother but has avoided an immediate prison sentence.

The 19-year-old defendant, from St Helens, subjected his partner to a cruel three-hour ordeal inside their home.

Police officers arrived at the flat to find the victim covered in white paint and curled up in a ball on the bathroom floor.

She was audibly sobbing and shrieking through a hole in the door, which was still smouldering and smoking.

During the assault, the teenager hit her with a broom handle and a golf club before putting her in a chokehold from behind.

When she tried to hide in the bathroom, he smashed the door with the golf club and used an aerosol and a lighter to set fire to it.

He then threw dumbbells and a bottle of bleach at her, causing the liquid to splash onto her body.

In what was described in court as an extremely selfish act, he took hold of a memorial t-shirt featuring a photograph of her deceased grandmother.

He set fire to the garment right in front of her while telling her that her nan would rot in hell.

The attack came just two days after another incident where he struck his girlfriend with a hammer following an argument.

Following his arrest, he openly threatened his victim in front of police officers, stating that he was going to smash her face in when he got out.

But he has now walked free from court after a judge handed him an 18-month imprisonment suspended for 18 months.

The court heard he had already spent nearly five months in custody on remand, which the judge noted was the equivalent of a nine-month sentence for a teenager with no previous convictions.

He was also given a five-year restraining order and a rehabilitation activity requirement of up to 20 days.

Another kick in the teeth, metaphorically speaking to the brave young woman who endured his cowardly attacks.

The justice in this country cares more about the accused than the victims.

BBC PAID A WOMAN HALF A MAN SALARY FOR THE SAME JOB AND THOUGHT NO ONE WOULD NOTICE

Carrie Gracie spoke fluent Mandarin. Ran the @BBC Beijing bureau. Thirty years of service. One of four international editors at Britain's most prestigious broadcaster.

Then the BBC was legally forced to publish salary data in 2017. Gracie looked at the list. Her male counterpart covering North America was on up to £249,000. She was below £150,000. Not even on the published list. Neither was Europe editor Katya Adler. The two women. Funny that.

She had explicitly made equal pay a condition of taking the China role. The BBC said yes. Then paid her nearly half anyway and apparently hoped she'd never check.

She checked.

She asked for equal pay. The BBC, with the confidence of an institution that had been getting away with this for decades, offered her a raise that still left her short.

She turned it down. Resigned from the post. Published an open letter to the licence fee payers explaining exactly what their public broadcaster was doing with their money.

The BBC's response was to put her through nearly a year of their own internal grievance process. Run by the same institution she was complaining about. Investigating itself. Shockingly, it went nowhere.

It took three separate meetings with the Director-General and the concrete threat of an employment tribunal before the BBC caved, issued a public apology, and paid her £361,000 in backdated wages.

She gave every single penny to the Fawcett Society (@fawcettsociety).

A publicly funded broadcaster. Breaking equality law. Caught red-handed. Dragging a 30-year employee through a year of institutional theatre. Paying up only when a judge became a realistic possibility.

I’m still thinking about this. It’s great that this unduly lenient sentence is being reviewed BUT:
1. It should not take public outrage for this to happen in 2026;
2. The sentencing guidelines must be urgently reviewed;
3. Judge Nicholas Rowland must be removed. He chose to protect and praise serial rapists. No excuses. He must go.

[Smirkley @Smirkley]

If a gang can laugh while raping two schoolgirls and filming it, but behave like angels the moment their own freedom is on the line, I as a judge would treat that courtroom composure as aggravating. They are capable of restraint and control when it suits them but not others.

[Nicky Clark @MrsNickyClark]

This story is so devastating to me. So it’s ADHD (formerly autism) & low IQ is it?
They had had a high enough IQ to separate one of the girls from her phone/tracker,enough IQ to film it,enough IQ to post it enough IQ to stay calm & well behaved in court.
I stand with the girls
