But The Justice System Doesn't Believe Women Who Deny Domestic Abuse, Abigail
And I'm pretty sure you'd have been in favour of that....
A Bolton man who is on the run after being recalled to prison indefinitely has made a direct plea to the justice secretary to intervene in his case. Matthew Booth, 33, is wanted by police on recall to prison for a crime he committed when he was 15 and for which he has served a sentence. He was given an indefinite imprisonment for public protection (IPP) sentence, meaning he can be recalled without notice for breaches of strict licence conditions.
The 'Guardian' has a bee in its bonnet about these, considering them cruel to criminals, and so paints a 'Robin Hood' picture of this wanted felon.
He has pleaded with the justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, to intervene after being accused of restarting a relationship with his former partner, Abigail Vernon, with whom he has two daughters, aged 10 and seven, without notifying the authorities. Booth and Vernon both deny this. They say the Parole Board is also under the misconception that Booth has been abusive to Vernon in the past. They say he has not.
Well, yes, I've no doubt they do. But prevailing wisdom in the justice system has been to no longer take the woman's word for it. Because it now recognises 'coercive control' i.e. women being stupid about what's really going on.
IPP sentences under which offenders were handed a minimum jail term but no maximum were dropped over human rights concerns in 2012, seven years after they were introduced by New Labour.
Vernon denied the Parole Board’s claims that Booth had been abusive to her in the past, and she has asked that he is allowed to be managed in the community.
But why should anyone take notice of what she wants?
Shirley Debono, a co-founder of IPP Committee in Action, who has supported Vernon and Booth, said: “Shabana Mahmood must intervene and stop Matthew from being sent back to prison.”
Must she? Why?

Don’t The BBC Have A Team To Combat Disinformation?
While the identities of all the victims have not been made public yet, a picture is slowly emerging of a group of mostly young people, many of whom - like Tiger - were Louisiana locals.
Eh? But didn't you start the article with this?
Jack, 22, was in Dallas visiting family members, while Tiger, a 28-year-old former Princeton alumnus who lived in New York, was in New Orleans, getting ready to celebrate the New Year.
And also:
Among the other victims of the attack in the early morning hours of 1 January was Matthew Tenedorio, an audio-visual technician at New Orleans' Caesars' Superdome. Tenedorio, who just turned 25 in October, had spent the earlier part of his evening at his brother's home in the town of Slidell, about 35 minutes away from New Orleans.
Closer, but still no cigar, BBC.

Moving The Deckchairs...
A group of left-leaning MEPs have warned of “systemic inequities” after it emerged that the EU executive’s lead official in combating racism, who is a black European woman, was excluded from a reshuffle that left her in a “lower position” than her white peers.
Like two bald men fighting over a comb, Reader...
The European Commission announced earlier this month that its coordinator on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life, and her counterpart on battling anti-Muslim hatred, would be moved to its secretariat-general, the department at the apex of the EU executive that reports directly to president Ursula von der Leyen. The commission’s anti-racism coordinator, however, will remain in a standard department, a lower and less weighty position, say MEPs and campaigners.
And with less options for climbing that greasey pole to the top. Which is probably the main draw.
Although none have been made envoys, the move to the secretariat-general for two is seen as opening the door to that promotion, while giving them greater political clout in the meantime. In official questions to the commission, MEPs representing Socialists, the Left and Greens said: “This exclusion, affecting the only racialised coordinator, raises concerns about systemic inequities.”
Well, we can safely ignore anything said by such a trio of failures...

Rape gang dam wall seems to have been breached
Plenty across the pond but my delight is that it’s hit the fan on the rape gangs over here, courtesy of some Americans … now this is promising. All sorts of historical miscreants under the hammer, it’s all they wrote on X. Gab still to catch up.
I’ve thought for some years (and no doubt many of you have mentioned it too) that within one country, nowt much can be forced but:
- if it comes from o/s
- consistently enough
- and the ladies get themselves organised across the west
… then dam walls can fall … it did happen in Northern Ireland, sparked by the women’s peace train. I’m watching and big names in the Brit firmament are now coming out over it. Good. It’s something at least.
How safe yet in Starmer’s communist dystopia is it to speak above a whisper? Let’s see.
