Interesting quote didn’t know that, thanks.

I think it overestimates the powers of the justice system. You can’t prevent someone posting something online and it going viral, surely?

How would it stop people thinking something?

I don’t think it’s that simple.

I think 3.2% of sexual assault cases lead to a conviction.

The way the law works, you only need to prove reasonable doubt which is incredible easy when consent is a concept.

They estimated 85,000 women a year are raped or sexually assaulted. 2022 there were 2,223 charges of rape.

There does seem to be a priority to protect innocent men against potentially malicious allegations, over prosecuting rapists and reducing the number of women being raped.

If you remove or erode the social unacceptability of rape and sexual assault, that’s also incredible detrimental.

To me, it does seem more likely a women isn’t lying than is & knowing that it’s hard to prove, I do still think there needs to be some action.

I’d like to see a campaign or something by the league. Creating a bit of a dialogue about sexual assault.

It’s why I think a stronger female presence in the game is so important. We need more women’s voices in the game

Updating the public is irrelevant. The accused, the victim and just judicial system don’t care if the general public feel uninformed on progress and nor should they

Be a lot more interesting to see this via academy rather than club they played at.

Thinking about West Ham: Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Lampard, Carrick, Defoe, Ince, Glen Johnson - they must all have minimum 50 caps each. Which is so impressive for 1 academy. But vast majority of their caps came once they left West Ham.

West Ham have contributed more to England than Spurs say (and I say that as a spurs fan) but were much higher up on the list because we’ve always had a decent amount of England players in our squad.

The government represents the people. We’ve had this laws for over a hundred years.

We aren’t America, we don’t view free speech in the same way.
