The sexual abuse allegations against Russell Brand are shocking , I don't understand why he hasn't been prosecuted but it's chilling & predictable that his grift is now campaigning for the anti-women candidate Trump & sharing a podium with Tucker Carlson .

There is nothing a woman can be, no strength or success she can acquire that can protect her from male violence. Rebecca was an Olympian. And her ex-boyfriend burned her alive. There are no words.

So what have I missed in the last month, apart from more and more people leaving this website

Have been in NZ for a month; toyed with the idea of trying to barter my proof of the new SR for plane upgrade possibilities but in end left it at home as afraid of losing :) Am so glad Sam got a copy, best campaign I’ve seen

Having just returned from NZ I can tell you that Watties rule

I want to vomit. With global violence against women and girls at epidemic levels, this horrifying case is one further in the list of depravities. So the men (some of whom are untraceable) were compelled to rape her and for the woman, now aged 71, to seek justice it is ´revenge’ ?

I have literally no words

So good to be back in the land of cliched ‘journalism’ being praised to the hilt by other practitioners of cliched journalism, way to GO

The BBC needs clear, powerful reporting like Kate’s. This is a frightening explanation of how Grenfell happened - including this shocking revelation about ‘red tape” safety regulations bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It is tragic. As is your gaslighting wording. She was brutally murdered by a man. Say it.

I was delighted to review Pat Barker’s new novel The Voyage Home for Irish Times Culture - out now from Viking Books UK

According to the BBC, this woman was not violently murdered by a man but somehow died after he deliberately set her on fire. As for ‘boyfriend’. Rebecca Cheptegei: Paris to honour Ugandan Olympian set on fire by ex-boyfriend - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
