John Kimble

That sentence really is staggering, even by usual female sentencing discount standards.

She should have been jailed for a considerable time even if she'd helped him to get medical help immediately following her attack. The fact that she then kidnapped him and put him in further danger suggests undeniable malice rather than some spur of the moment reaction. It's blatantly obvious that she's a dangerous woman and the public need to be protected from people like her.

Oh and if anyone was doubting Clegg's total surrender to the will of misandrist feminists then check out what he was up to the other week:

(though Cameron and Milliband are equally guilty and did exactly the same thing)

Above is the link for the new consultation on Domestic Abuse. Needless to say there is some notable omissions from the research quoted(notably studies of abuse in teenage relationships. The proposals come out of the VAWG strategy and so the subtle object is to reflect the anti male bias of the strategy. Please do alert organisations and groups to this. Personally I am concerned at the attempts to broaden definitions and "category creep" to subjective interpretations of behaviour. In an ideology in which men are assumed to be threatening simply because they are men then there does seem to be a potential for abuse of pubic institutions by peope simple wanting "to get even" or access public funds as "victims". A recent supreme court decision is having this latter effect on housing departments as the definition moved from facts to whether the victim felt threatened.
