I'm just surprised that they can't seem to understand that it is HIS version of events that makes it rape.

It's actually depressing that there are so many people that are this ignorant about consent and the law.

Given that his family have been involved from the very start, the rot runs deep.

StillLostAtTheStation · 14/03/2015 12:51

One of the lesser, but still depressing issues re Ched Evans, is , even setting aside the unwillingness of Evans' family (with the exception I believe of one aunt) , his girlfriend and her family to accept that he is a rapist, the willingness of all of them to accept the rest of his reprehensible conduct.

@puffins
lol you're welcome, I do seem to offer a full explanation of my opinions, which ends up being an essay sometimes :).
i like the fact you're an activist / campaigner, it is an admirable quality.
Whilst it may have been a tongue in cheek comment, my response was to emphasise why she shouldnt be allowed a platform in the media eye where I feel controversy breeds ignorance.
I try to stay away from the media as much as possible; not easy in this day and age though.

Thanks or that AKnickerful

No probably not, I meant disseminated in schools or Scouts/Guides and the like.

AKnickerfulOfMenace · 14/03/2015 00:14

I wouldn't expect a positive response from her, tbh...

StillLostAtTheStation · 13/03/2015 23:40

It is brilliantly simple.It deserves to be widely disseminated.

PuffinsAreFictitious · 13/03/2015 23:40

Agree with Lonny.... she is a lost cause, and beyond vitriolic.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 13/03/2015 23:38

Still nah. I wouldn't waste your wi-if to be honest.

AKnickerfulOfMenace · 13/03/2015 23:37

Here you go, koala.

Cup of tea explanation? I'm not familiar with that.

StillLostAtTheStation · 13/03/2015 23:00

I don't tweet and don't know how it works but if her tweets are public is it possible to tweet to her with a link to the "cup of tea" explanation?

PuffinsAreFictitious · 13/03/2015 21:33

Sorry, I guessed you didn't pity her. She's a pretty rum customer

Koalafications · 13/03/2015 20:01

I was pissed off at the idea that Ch5 would give her airtime.

I don't pity her. I think she is a disgusting human being.

The trouble is there are always two sides to every story - she is representing the view of her brother who she pities and thinks is innocent. Without even mentioning the appeal just her presence on TV accelerates the debate. There are many football fans that want to see him reinstated into the money game, without reflecting on the case itself since they think he has alreasy 'served his time'.

Yes.... I'm pretty aware of the issues. I get told to die in a fire by his supporters on a fairly regular basis. I'm also kind of involved in the various campaigns to make sure he's not reinstated.... have been from the beginning.

Thanks for the 101 précis though......

Koala.... Not sure she pissed any feminazis off.... why anyone would pity her is beyond me, she knows exactly what she's doing.

Koalafications · 13/03/2015 19:46

Well, she's denying it on her twitter account, so it was just a load of rubbish.

Interesting that she thinks its funny that she's 'wound up a few feminazis'.

I think I'd be more pissed off in her position having a convicted rapist for a brother though.

Giving her a platform in a reality tv show should never be considered.
She represents a view that directly opposes the justice system & the verdict but more importantly further damages the victim. The aftermath of acquitting Mcdonald without any consequence for his part in the incident has propelled this ridiculous argument on the basis that it was 'unfair'. That is EXACTLY where they went wrong with this case. McDonald should have taken responsbility for inviting and allowing Evans to enter the room.

I've said it before: Evans girlfriend has not helped matters by accepting his apology unconditionally without knowing the facts of what had happened. Frankly she should have exited the relationship, perhaps via a fire escape as quickly as Evans did.

Evans has to be accountable for his disgraceful actions, he must rethink a new career path out of the media limelight and move forwards with it. Apology to the victim and acceptance of his regretable past decisions and the ultimate outcome , not defiance of it, would help him and his family move past this and in terms of finding a path of forgiveness and changing / growing as a person.

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 13/03/2015 11:11

Might not have been Channel 5. If she has an agent, and she had an audition, it's a fairly easy spin from there that she's going to appear.

pand0raslunchb0x · 13/03/2015 09:57

sashh what is her twitter name? am unsure whether I would be interested or disgusted to read her tunnelvisioned views.

If Evil represents ignorance to facts and lack of compassion for the victim in blind favour of her brother and his ridiculous claims that he is innocent, then that does imply to a degree that she is evil.

i've read the details of the case and the only things that stand out for me is the fact ched received a text saying "i've got a bird" from McDonald, Ched entered the room uninvited and unbeknownst to the victim, Mcdonald left the room so Ched could 'take over', then Ched left via a fire escape. Its an open and shut guilty case.

Mcdonald was acquitted as the courts deemed he had been given consent by the victim, regardless of how much alchohol she'd had, but he was certainly partly to blame for ched entering the room and should have been punished appropriately for the part he played in my view, not walk scot free.

If Ched is ever allowed back into football there will be a mass outcry of protests, the victim has changed her name several times due to death threats and now lives in hiding. Ched should not be allowed to be idolised in public view nor adorn the bedrooms of children.

sashh · 13/03/2015 07:27

She believes him like his fiancée. Stupid, yes. Evil, no.

Have a look at her twitter feed before you say she isn't evil.

Apparently this is not true, in which case Channel five have decided using someone's rape is a good way to get extra publicity for their show. Disgusting.

Koalafications · 12/03/2015 14:37

I dont think I could cope with the level of stupidity that I would be exposed to.
