    Lambeth Council Watch - news and updates about the 'co-operative' council

    Sadly this is typical. Not just with Lambeth, many local authorities refuse to take their legal safeguarding obligations around domestic and familial abuse seriously. It's disgusting. However Lambeth currently seem to be particularly bad.

    More uncomfortable SCD related news. Former Strictly Come Dancing star Artem Chigvintsev has been charged with domestic violence in the US. The Russian dancer, who won the BBC competition in 2010 with celebrity partner Kara Tointon, was arrested on Thursday morning in California...

    MPs beating people up.

    But seriously, there must be fucktons. They just cover it up or don't get caught, especially the domestic violence bit. "Don't you know who I am?" (I once heard Keith Vaz actually say those words) comes with the ego-driven territory.

    Supreme Court Ruling time again

    Surprised to see that the court - with Clarence Thomas dissenting, of course - did the sane thing and upheld a law banning people under domestic violence restraining orders from owning guns https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2024/jun/21/supreme-court-domestic-violence-gun-ban

    Far-right response to Southport Outrage And Ongoing Violent Disorder

    Do we know for sure that there would be a temporary reduction in DV? I would have thought the opposite. :(

    The Graham Linehan Shitshow

    "Stupid woman! How dare you presume to know about domestic violence when you have pronouns in your bio! I, a man, care far more about women than you do, even though I'm mates with an openly misogynistic domestic abuser."

    MPs beating people up.

    Why must there be many cases of MPs assaulting people?

    Men’s violence against women and girls is a national emergency

    ...Now a prominent campaigner, Ms Williams said her son is the reason she fights for education around domestic violence and coercion. "I don't want to see another family go through what we went through. "If I can educate the next Jack's and the next Rachel's then I'm going to do that." Ms...

    Netflix recommendations

    Just watched Mountain Queen. Sherpa woman climbs Everest while struggling with the demons of her past. Maybe not one to watch if you don't like dealing with domestic violence etc - but this is one of the best things I've seen on netflix.

    Far-right response to Southport Outrage And Ongoing Violent Disorder

    If only we could be so certain that dv culprits are almost entirely vile in these other ways too, fewer women would find themselves in such situations if that were really the case

    And now a French General election too (2024)

    Looks like someone has finally managed to persuade Mélenchon that his unwavering support for Quatennens post domestic violence conviction isn't a good look.

    Far-right response to Southport Outrage And Ongoing Violent Disorder

    One tiny silver lining will be a temporary reduction in domestic violence for the time they're out of circulation. Not all racists beat up their partners and kids, but the ones involved in these violent, hateful riots will cross over with domestic violence abusers so neatly that the circles in...

    Men’s violence against women and girls is a national emergency

    So this is from the Guardian piece in the OP. It covers not only domestic violence but other stuff too. Whatever the details, the underlying and overreaching issue is systemic misogyny and the patriarchy.

    Kirstie Allsopp discussion

    Of course - i never doubted it for a second. She did also made a claim about domestic violence being a poor people problem too and I know that's not true!

    Filth by name. . .

    Just short of a year later I wonder how common an occurrence that seems to be. Not exactly rare, that's for sure.

    Urban75 Album of the Year 1984

    ...love? Bananarama's self titled second album. Cruel Summer, Rough Justice, Robert de Nero's Waiting. Behind the shiny pop songs there's some dark lyrics - sectarian violence, domestic violence, Robert de Nero's waiting is about a teenage rape victim looking for escape. An excellent pop album.
