A women's rights campaigner has rejected calls for female-only Tube carriages and said it should be men who are segregated in order to drive down harassment and sexual assault on the network.
If that name sounds familiar, Reader, it should....
Patsy Stevenson, who was arrested by the Met Police at the Sarah Everard vigil, said a men-only carriage would be a better solution than segregating victims, because they constitute the 'majority' of offenders.
And - if such a thing was even possible on the overcrowded and unmonitored Tube - a men only carriage would result in...what, if not all the others being 'women only carriages'?
Didn't think this through did you, airhead!
It comes after the launch of a petition by UCL student Camille Brown, who called for women-only carriages on the Tube and for Sadiq Khan and TfL to 'do more to protect women'.
Ms Brown's petition, which has more than 13,000 signatures, asked for at least one dedicated women-only carriage on every Tube line in an attempt to curb gender-based harassment.
13,000 and I wonder how many of those were regular London Tube commuters. Because I am. and I know full well this idea is a total impossibility. As TfL (under the Muslim Mayor of London, always happy to consider barmy virtue signalling insanity) know:
The proposal has also been rebuffed by Transport for London (TfL) bosses who say they will not be considering women-only carriages.
Why does anyone entertain this nonsense? One interviewer wasn't happy to, and that's when the mask dropped:
When challenged by presenter Wilfred Frost, who said that surely the problem 'could not be the majority of men', Ms Stevenson said: 'That would be lovely if it was a small minority, unfortunately it's definitely not. '
Good grief!
