What really matters

Can I just point everyone to the thread I just started with contact details for Lidington, the Secretary of State for Justice. He's apparently the person with the power to overturn the parole decision. Let's bury him under emails till he can't ignore it.

Please - emailing him will take the same amount of time it takes you to write a post on mumsnet.

They let john warboys out? They fucking let him out? TEN YEARS?

So which bit don't they give a fuck about

Punishment
Safety of society
Justice seen to be done

Answers are 2 and 3. This is the most prolific of sex offenders, who orchestrated a carefully thought out campaign of rape and sexual assault over YEARS. His victims are thought to be over 100. Yet our system in all it's wisdom has decided that he has "served his time" and let him out in what amounts to a massive fuck-you to all those victims (that's about 1 month for each victim, probably less, we don't know how many victims there are) plus the fact that sex offenders of this nature don't tend to be "rehabilitated". In fact there is no mention in the blurb that the parole board feels he no longer is a threat - a telling omission.

When are we going to get to a point where men who sexually abuse and assault women (and children and other men) are kept locked up not until they have met some patriarchy approved "oh he's paid enough" random time but until a group of experts are as sure as they possibly can be that they pose NO THREAT and if that means they are locked up forever then so be it.

TEN FUCKING YEARS is all the rape and assault of literally SCORES of women is worth.

I think a lot of us worry that letting men into women's spaces will result in entitled twats being even more confident of their right to do whatever they want to women, op. You're upset about one case but ignoring legislation that could pave the way for more.
