My suspicion is that Priti Patel is not really trying this time because she's been wisely advised that the next Tory leader is going to be an IDS no hoper gone in 2 years after infighting who won't fight the next election, and the real contest is to be the next Tory leader + 1

Ms. Gisèle Pélicot is a hero. She asked that her trial be made public so every single piece of shit that raped her will have their name & face shown. - Man drugged wife's dinner then invited more than 50 men over to rape her whilst she lay unconscious. mirror.co.uk/news/world-new…

She endured at least 92 sexual assaults committed by 72 men over 10 years, ages ranging from 26 to 74, all while she was drugged by her husband who documented many of the rapes. This isn’t just one or two “bad actors.” This is a society that has normalized violating women.

I couldn’t have written a load of my articles or pretty much any of my MPhil without the Internet Archive. Out of print books (particularly experimental 70s women’s writing), little-known magazines from half a century ago – a wealth of information now impossible to access
