Britt I fear the solution is not left of centre and it's going to be quite a leap for the moderate of us to get to there. :( One thing I am sure of though - is that shutting down debate and denial of facts will result in an increase of vigilante movements and it won't be pretty.
I too am scared - not by what any particular media outlet tells me (I am not governed by them) - but through observation and first-hand accounts from friends. I too eschew public transport and train/bus stations.
As for 1000+ women being "digitally penetrated against their will" every Saturday night in Birmingham... well, you'd have thought Labour MP for Birmingham Jess Phillips, acting alongside a full Labour council could have done something about that... especially as she seems aware of the "incidents".
