Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Tougher laws required

Hundreds of women die each year at the hands of men,

"We will not stop campaigning until we are safe agen !!"

From an early age spaces in boy's brains we  must  reserve,

Educating them to honour females and give them the respect they deserve.

 

Statistics show that over 200 women were murdered last year,

It is unacceptable that women walk around our streets in fear.

The government have released it's strategies to tackle the cause,

They have not been put properly  in place and are full of flaws.

 

Women face countless threats every single day,

Action is needed urgently without any delay.

Sabina Nessa's murder tells us enough is enough,

Let's pursue the perpetrators and get tough !!

That rogue officer is an example of how the force as a
whole suffered an aberration who took vile advantage of how
a selection system had been engineered to its detriment
to permit his ability to apply and join in the first place.
The platitudes are always out there. But the fact also remains: This violence has been there in every generation and we
face an inability to understand and address that dangerous
reality in a society that promotes false promises and expectations. The reference to "callousness and indifference"
is a singular indication of how awareness and comprehension
of human wickedness can be loftily condemned in accusatory
fashion rather than considered for its intrinsic invitation to
face and not turn away from the awful actuality. .
Instead of the handwringing piety, tell us HOW to stop these things occurring. But I for one won't be holding my breath.
After the easy accusations about alleged "failings", it will
certainly be a case of "Answers came there none" in a weak
society that's become too smug and self-righteous to
address, let alone recognise and confront what remains horribly constant in base human behaviour.

This case has revealed all kinds of problems with the Met police that haven't been addressed. We can't just shrug our shoulders, and say, it was ever thus. Such an attitude suggests callousness and indifference. And don't bring 'wokeness' into it, please. We all have the right not to face danger and indeed, murder, from our own police forces.

The care and concern are shared. But every generation seems to
face this situation. One only has to think of the likes of "Jack the Ripper" and work forward. I'd wager each year had its
murders of this sort, with the "Penny Dreadfuls" and the "Police Gazette" carrying the tales to be eagerly read by the shivering fascinated masses. Somehow, we have become
almost sanitised by life, expecting to be freed from the
of the beast beyond the door...as if each woman was some
"Alice" in a newly created wonderland. Tragically, reality
has been left out of the teachings and warnings that should
exist. Only the streets and traffic change; the predator
and prey scenario remains constant. Prevention and
deterrent remain the vital "watchwords". And for too long
the second has ceased to exist in any meaningful sense of
the word whilst we as a society have got our safety issues
confused with words like "rights", "equality" and "freedom".
