I tried to read all the rapists names, and their sentences, but I became angry at the short sentences some of them have been given. I presume the judge was fair, but their crimes are disgusting/cruel, their excuses pathetic.
Huge admiration for #giselepelicot and her "Shame must change sides".
Dominique Pelicot found guilty of aggravated rape of Gisèle Pelicot. He was also convicted of making + distributing pictures and images of Gisèle Pelicot.

Dominique Pelicot has also been found guilty of making and distributing sexual images of his adult daughter Caroline and the wives of his sons.

How do we get real politicians, not people cosplaying the role? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/12... Our politicians think they are powerless in the face of markets, and now make it apparent that is the case. Our political malaise is the consequence. How do we change that?

Well it turns out that wealthy farmers doing exactly the same thing on a much bigger scale is absolutely fine

Why has Rachel Reeves called in bankers to advise on the NHS? youtu.be/00MtdwnWfB0?... Rachel Reeves must think the only job a government has is to balance its books. There can be no other explanation for the insanity of calling in bankers to advise on the NHS.

I’m struck too by how generous people who profess to be religious are when it comes to repairing a building. And how little is being raised right now to help fellow human beings subjected to genocide.
This country needs to pull its finger out on many fronts.

Would they WELCOME Nigel Farage as Prime Minister?
This should be us with Scotland's resources, Instead London steals our resources & looks like what Singapore looks like today. The relative poverty that we continue to witness everyday is basically the imbalance any country experience's when one part is favored over another.
