Remember the video footage and news reports of a gang of women viciously assaulting a man at a tube station? Well, guess what?

Which of those listed crimes would you say this counts as?

I wonder if somebody had a quiet word with the judge to point out that if a custodial sentence was given it would cause all sorts of new problems: where would these violent thugs be imprisoned?

With the incident being headline news the public might not have been happy with these thugs being sent to a women's prison.

I can’t believe it’s ok because what he said hurt their feelings I can guarantee three “Arabian” young men who did the same when receiving comments on their race/religion/country of origin would NOT be given the same leeway.

On correctly sexing, my husband and I were watching The Queen's Gambit a week or so ago. One of the teachers is a transgender male. I didn't know before I watched it but as soon as I heard the voice I knew that was a male trying to sound female. Went completely over my husband's head though until I'd pointed it out. I don't know how because it was so obvious to me.

Yes, I saw that too! I was on a Facebook discussion the other day and a GC friend of mine brought it up. It was interesting because almost all the women in the discussion had seen it at once. I saw it, doubted at first because it was very anachronistic but the moment he spoke I knew. The men in the discussion could not tell.

The judes comment, 'It is a sign that the so-called victim realised how wrong he was by refusing to cooperate and not make any statement.' is appalling on two counts. He is claiming he can read the mind of someone he hasn't met, as a judge he should be concerned only with evidence.

The victim was not the one on trial here. He has not faced a court and had the chance to refute these allegations. The 3 male and 1 female defendants accused of a violent assault which could have killed someone are the ones on trial, which this judge seems to be forgetful of.
