I suppose it is better late than never regarding this but as Lisa Longstaff from Women Against Rape rightly points out:
We have had review after review, research project after research project and still women are not getting the protection of the law when they are raped or suffer domestic violence.
Action does indeed speak louder than words but my expectations are low especially as Harriet Harman and the whole NL shebang have had time to do so much but in reality have done so little…..

Links nicely forward to your most recent post on that reactionary ratbag….Clocks can be heard ticking backwards as these shallow, window-dressing reviews ask all the wrong questions and ignore the total abuse of power that rape is – yet another focus on all the so called mitigating details that put a woman’s rights at the bottom of the list of priorities.
Thanks Sara, it does tie nicely with that lumpen sexist dinosaur.
How many reviews do they need? It reminded me of the Corston Report that looked at the treatment of women prisoners when NL decided to have ANOTHER review of Corston’s findings….and what happened with that? Sod all!! While Jack Straw chose to go with Lord Carter (slasher of legal aid tho’ best mate of Straw…) mega-prisons proposals as opposed to Corston’s more humane proposals.
Funny that…
So I haven’t any time for these countless review after fecking review when they know the underlying issues etc etc etc…
