The Guardian.

I actually just looked through that,now I know I am not the sharpest tool,but I could not see where it said it would be cut.

always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

My wife and I work in support of the Houston Area Women's Center. [Link]

They have a main office, where I have been, but only my wife has been able to tour their secure compound - such is the protection that these women need. Their abusers will try to intercept them at work or at their kids' school, so they often need a security detail just to carry on some semblance of a normal life. Hence the very strict security arrangements around the shelter.

A lot is made of the frequency of gun murders in the US - quite rightly. What's rarely highlighted in the figures is that abused women make up a strikingly disproportionate number of the victims. The likelihood of a women being murdered increases 8-fold if there's a gun in the house. [Link]

When these women run, they need to effectively disappear. When they run with their kids, they show up at HAWC with literally their clothes on their backs and nothing else. When we have put on events for HAWC, in addition to money to fund the shelter, we ask for things that the fleeing women need which includes things like baby formula, diapers, toothbrushes, underwear... it's heartbreaking.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

If you feel that you have nothing to contribute or say, then don't post. Otherwise it looks like you're attacking the poster, not the subject. If you're bored of politics then try the new general talk.

The Guardian is a socialist paper and prints lots of tosh which is designed to be anti Tory.
There is no response from the government in the article so it is a one sided argument.
Anyone can make one of those.

Is the new politics thread just going to be a place where people can transparently campaign for the Labour party by constantly linking anti govrnment articles on a daily basis?

I thought it was meant to be about discussion.

Left leaning, socialist. That's just juggling definitions.
Fact is, the piece is biased and unbalanced which is what was intended.
Do I believe that the government wants to see women die at the hands of their spouses? Unlikely.
Do I believe that left wingers want it to look that way ? Without doubt.
