www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/oct/10/pubs-clubs-closed-rape-crackdown

This is about the Met using new powers to close down pub/clubs where high levels of rape happen. It seems to be a way to distract attention from the fact that the Met are really shit at investigating rape but who knows it might help maybe?

One of my best friends was raped a couple of years ago.
Despite my severe dislike of the Met, she was very well cared for by the Sapphire unit (specialist rape unit) and they persevered. They got the bastard, he pleaded guilty to raping seven women and will be sentenced in December.

People are cunts. Rapists are the lowest, most vile scumbags of the earth, and they will find a new place to violate their victims. I know I'm biased on this viewpoint, but if my rapist was put in jail for the rest of his life, it wouldn't be long enough.

You can't turn people away based on the fact that they're suspected rapists anymore than you can put them in prison for it. If they were convicted rapists, then they ought to be in prison rather than drinking and hanging around drunk women.

it looks like the police had no real way of stopping them, so they got an injunction (which is questionable in itself) and then when the hippes started being a bit cheeky and trying go round the roadblocks, the police went a bit mental.

They were guilty of trespass and having illegal vehicles
and were dragged through their smashed windscreens by their hair, in front of their kids, and beaten with truncheons, at about 6am. It's disproportionate in the extreme.

On a more serious note, there was an article in the paper the other day about how a lot of the problems stem from the lawyers being to smart, and there being too many ways to get off on a technicality, so although a man is guilty, and very obviously so, just becuase a copper didn't change his shirt between checking different evidence samples it gets thrown out*
