Re: Poor old Diane

If you have ever been trapped on a train by horrible and often threatening drunks you will know the reason for this ruling .

I don't doubt that it is a scary situation Muddy, it is how they deal with it that I think is wrong.
If they are drunk when they get on the train, perhaps they should stop them from travelling. Maybe they would then learn that nobody likes people who are drunk, especially when they have to see if a taxi is prepared to take them home!
If people really want to drink a lot on the train, they could use a coke bottle (where half was vodka) & I am sure they don't test every soft drink.
It is those who drink too much that are at fault, so why stop somebody from having 1 drink & isn't going to cause trouble?
I think it is wrong to restrict decent people from doing things, just because some idiots don't understand that what they do is offensive!
They will be expecting women to wear chastity belts, to avoid being raped next!

BTW, I dont like Diane Abbot but I do think it is wrong that she can't have a small cocktail just because others think is ok to behave like drunken fools!

As shadow whatsit, she should know the rules, perhaps she thinks she is above the law like the rest of 'em? Glad to hear she uses the train though.

A Shadow?.....You can call Diane Abbott a lot of things, but 'Shadow' isn't one of them...

More like a 'Total Eclipse'.....

Snip :

"Sonette Ehlers, of South Africa (the rape capital of the world), has invented an anti-rape device that goes by the name, Rapex. The device is basically a female condom with teeth lining the inside that work just like the protective spikes in a parking garage… You can go in, but whatever you do, don’t back out. The teeth are angled so they allow penetration, but bite like a shark as the penis is removed; supposedly causing so much pain that it will give the woman a chance to escape. Further, according to Ms. Ehlers, “the device will need to be surgically removed at a hospital"!

Snopes he say no.

Sounds a good idea though. Ideal for masochism fans!

But however ill-conceived, the law is the law and can't be seen to favour one section of society especially those of the well off, those in authority or political class while prosecuting those of lesser influence.

Seems like a good idea to me too but that article is nine-years old. Was the item developed and used and did it deter anyone if so?
