BREAKING. David Carrick, a Metropolitan police officer has admitted at least 80 sex attacks, including 47 rapes, against a dozen women. It means that one of the country's worst sex offenders has been working at the force for 20 years

We are appalled that Carrick used his position as an officer to access victims, and that Metropolitan Police's culture of impunity allowed him to continue abusing women for years. No more platitudes. We demand justice and radical change. Read our statement ⬇️ endviolenceagainstwomen.org.uk/serial-rapist-…

I’m 61 and I’ve been round the block when it comes to disabled people, work and benefits. I’m hearing it’s people’s ‘duty’ to get back into the workplace, but during my career, I’ve been sacked, denied promotion, pay rises and work opportunities, because I’m visually impaired.

I passed my PhD!!!
