    excellent article

    fav bit


    Well the Magdalene Laundries were scandal on a scale far greater than the Hillsborough tragedy, for many more years. So I think the same arguments hold. The people who did this should not be in any way involved with women and young people, ever. Could you imagine if the South Yorkshire police branched out and started a private security firm specifically for football matches? They'd be laughed and shamed out of town. Carry that thinking through: we should be laughing and shaming Ruhama far, far away from anything to do with the welfare of vulnerable women and children.

    We still do not know the truth about what happened in the Laundries, nor who exactly was responsible, how many families it affected. To even consider letting Ruhama be involved with the prostitution consultation, much less any policymaking or aid, should be scandalous.

    great article.

    Brooke Magnanti's logic is usually very difficult to argue with. Anytime I've seen her debate, she always comes out on top.

    I think they are riding on a crest of the wave from last nights thing with Vincent. You can see them patting each other on the back.

    To be fair , there was 'victory' claimed here re Rachel's appearance the previous day so judging by people's comments on here, it was fairly emphatic.
