I think the Daily Mail report is virtually the same as the Evening Standard one. So no new info.
I was hoping at least one newspaper would try and explain why he has been detained for breaching bail conditions if a court has decided he hasn't done anything wrong?
Or does this relate to another incident. If not then am surprised his legal team isn't saying he should be released.
I thought the comment that the only regret he had about what he said was being in a male prison.
But also, as has already been said, it is inexplicable that all those organisations who earn their living / get their funding for supposedly campaigning against violence against women have not issued a statement.
And I have said this on other threads, they will all band together to issue statements about the Met Police, the Government but haven't done anything in response to this.
I doubt that even Justice for Women would say anything.
And another aspect of this is that the Met Police will now say we were right to begin with, politicians shouldn't meddle, and this magistrate has made it clear that inciting violence against women isn't a crime.
As if we didn't know that. And again thanks to the "professional" VAW groups who campaigned for misogyny not to be a hate crime we are even further down the pecking order.
re. Making a formal complaint, I did see that only the person concerned or their legal team can raise it. Is this because it is a Magistrates Court, because there is a process that lets members of the public complain about lenient sentences. I wonder if we just shouldn't use that to at least let the justice system know.
Or start a petition to say that Magistrate should be investigated for failing to uphold the law.
