Yes I chuck it into word which spell checks.

I wish we could say New Year's Eve as not everyone is used to acronyms, but I can see how?

rumbleinthrjungle · 14/01/2016 22:45

How about losing the comma after NYE and change traditions at the end to tradition to get those two characters down?

VertigoNun · 14/01/2016 22:47

QT bbc.

SonyaAtTheSamovar · 14/01/2016 22:47

It is good.

Alternative but don't allow to derail:

were subjected to mass sexual assault

Irrespective of perceived cultural sensitivities

Kelvin fucking McKenzie

Pinkchampchoccies · 14/01/2016 22:48

i agree jungle 'tradition' is ok.

Pinkchampchoccies · 14/01/2016 22:49

"were subjected to mass sexual assault

Irrespective of perceived cultural sensitivities"

yes samovar that sounds good, what would this do to the word count?

polentapies · 14/01/2016 22:51

This is 302 characters ..... just lose two wee characters

On New Years Eve, women across the EU were subjected to mass assault.
UK women must be free to travel, work and live, without intimidation, hate or sexual violence.
We ask the government to debate and enforce measures to promote and uphold women's rights irrespective of religious/cultural traditions

polenta and others. Just that dh got sniffy, 'well, not in my name' type of thing.

SisterMoonshine · 14/01/2016 22:56

Shadow minister for women and equality on Question Time now.
I'm hoping something is brought up.

polentapies · 14/01/2016 22:56

I think it's clearer with New Year's Eve rather than NYE. Lots of people will see this through FB etc and might not be used to acronyms

polentapies · 14/01/2016 22:57

Four - you've lost me! (sorry, I'm tired)

VertigoNun · 14/01/2016 22:58

Sniff back.

venusinscorpio · 14/01/2016 22:59

Maybe we could ask for harassment and assault of women to be treated and prosecuted as a hate crime, that way you are asking for something solid rather than just wanting debate. Sexism just isn't seen to be as bad as racism and it should be. Calling a women a 'fucking slag' should be every bit as shocking and disapproved of as calling somebody a 'fucking nigger'

Agree with this.

VertigoNun · 14/01/2016 23:00

There isn't a lot of space so we just added the word hate.

fourmummy · 14/01/2016 23:05

vertigo Smile yes, too tired to think clearly. I'll sign in in the morning.

Pinkchampchoccies · 14/01/2016 23:07

Vertigo i agree 100%

fourmummy · 14/01/2016 23:07

Large groups of men/groups of men rather than gangs of men?

VertigoNun · 14/01/2016 23:09

Can your DH explain why that particular wording bothers him?
