Link here

They've ID'd one of the attackers & it looks to me as though there's a pattern of behaviour emerging for that person...

Im shocked but not surprised that there's not been a stronger condemnation of this incident & those involved. They're clearly identifiable & seem to be escaping widespread criticism & condemnation.

Its proof (as if we needed any) that the Bystander Effect is the most likely outcome of any attack on a woman. The men in the vicinity will not rush gallantly to our aid.

Utterly chilling.

It's good that the threats and violence against women attempting to raise concerns are finally getting into the public domain.
I noticed that Nicky Campbell on the 5 Live discussion talked about how many women refused to be interviewed on his programme this morning because of fear - and this is why!

So somebody awaiting trial for violent assault in front of loads if witnesses has done the same thing again? Is it arrogance or stupidity?

I don't think there was any physical assault this time. They're a fucking idiot though

Wow.

The level of surveillance and organised intimidation to which TRAs are subjecting women is alarming. How is this not being picked up more widely? If it was the other way round you can bet it would go bloody nuclear in the press, and quite rightly.

Thanks for sharing.

I would be interested to see the footage, particularly of Tanis Wolf.
