WOMEN! Do not forget to be afraid...

[SardineQueen]

Just in case any females out in London over Christmas were going to make the mistake of relaxing and enjoying themselves, the Met are going to send messages to the mobile phones of people while they are out clubbing, to ensure that they don't forget for even one second that they are prey.

This stuff drives me absolutely fucking nuts. They think they're being helpful I guess - but it's counter-productive and pathetic. I understand that men are quite at risk over the party season from mugging and violence - will they be getting any messages to remind them not to let their guard down for a second and that they are fundamentally unsafe? What do you think.

GAH.

No I do agree anastaisia - there should be more campaigns around encouraging men not to tolerate other men's rapey attitudes/behaviour and report etc. The government spent a fair bit on campaigns trying to reach your average British Muslim (moderate, law-abiding, peaceful) to encourage reporting of extremist/suspiciously terrorist behaviour in their community. Only recently have we started to see campaigns along the lines of MoreBeta's campaign when millions must have been spent advising women on how to avoid being raped.

MoreBeta do you know who was funding that campaign? was it the police?
