You couldn’t make this sh*t up…and a PC to boot. Diversity hiring in overdrive at Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary. The big question is “why?” given there are no money, children or mental health issues involved. Is being a victim of domestic abuse now a must-have fashion accessory for women, even if it means having an imaginary abusive boyfriend?Thurley is due to be sentenced on 18 January after being found guilty of perverting the course of justice. We expect a suspended sentence, because women are very rarely held properly accountable by the British criminal justice system, as we’ve reported in so many cases about female criminals since 2013.

So… let me get this right. If you don’t have a boyfriend to destroy with a false accusation, you just invent one? Sheesh.

Indeed, Rob. Some people find it so emotionally rewarding to be considered victims, real or otherwise. In the case of women, generally otherwise.

It quite a norm in our society for women to garner attention and support through being a “victim”. At it’s most banal its the wife/girlfriend complaining to their friends that their husband/partner doesn’t do enough in xmas decorating, planning and buying over elaborate meals, entering gift giving competitions or agonising over supposed “slights” in xmas cards or gifts. All of which are their own problems as they exercise their inner Hyacinth Bucket. This case will be just the same I’m sure as being a victim will have been effective in garnering lots of sympathy, support and probably time off work. Girls learn at an early age that this is an effective tool to manipulate others to get what you want. Of course boys will be ignored or told to sort it themselves. So generally get the message very early on this sort of “poor me” behaviour gets them no where and can even result in negatives.. wimp.
