Professor Matt Goodwin: “Why Nigel Farage should stand – if not now, when?”

Fascinating. We, too, hope Farage will reverse his decision not to stand. He has seven days before the deadline to announce his candidacy. The good citizens of Clacton will surely fund and erect a statue to him after electing him their MP. Fingers crossed…

Man, 40, taunted over his weight, hair and breath by controlling girlfriend Sarah Rigby, 41, who starved him and made him sleep on the floor slams her sentence after she avoided jail

Our thanks to Ken for this (Mail, £). Some readers have made comments along the lines of “the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are men” – even if it were true, what would that have to do with the lack of punishment of the woman in this case, and in general? – to which I’ve replied with the following:

“The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project (PASK) https://domesticviolenceresearch.org/ was published in May 2013 in the journal Partner Abuse and is the most comprehensive review of domestic violence research ever carried out. This unparallelled three-year research project was conducted by 42 scholars at 20 universities and research centres. The headline finding of the PASK review was that:

‘Men and women perpetrate physical and non-physical forms of abuse at comparable rates, most domestic violence is mutual, women are as controlling as men, domestic violence by men and women is correlated with essentially the same risk factors, and male and female perpetrators are motivated for similar reasons.’

A key numerical result from the PASK review was:

‘Among large population samples, 57.9% of intimate-partner violence (IPV) reported was bi-directional, 42.1% unidirectional, 13.8% of the unidirectional violence was male-to-female, 28.3% was female-to-male.’

The last point is worth emphasising. In the 42.1% of (heterosexual) couples in which one partner is always the perpetrator and the other the victim, the woman is TWICE as likely to be the perpetrator and (therefore) half as likely to be the victim.”

Mother of the victim of killer primary school teacher Fiona Beal calls her ‘pure evil’ as she holds picture of her son ‘My Nick’ aloft outside court as she is jailed for life but says ‘nothing will make up for the pain we have suffered’

A tragic case (Mail, £). An extract:

“The Year 6 teacher was jailed for life today with a minimum term of 20 years.”

Beal’s victim was only 42 when she murdered him.

Janice Fiamengo: “A Baseless Story by a Woman (20) of Sexual Assault Puts an Innocent Man (41) in Jail”

A sad story of something that’s all too common. An extract:

“Only the official criminal complaint against Urumova yields some hard information about her crime. We learn that police eventually confronted the woman about parts of her story that didn’t add up. She had described the route taken by her attacker after he fled the scene, but his truck did not appear where it should have on surveillance video. Similarly, an app on her phone did not record her movements in the parking lot. Forced to confess her lie, Urumova said that she had chosen to accuse Pierson because she had seen him in the parking lot previously and thought he was “creepy.” “

We can be very sure that Anjela Urumova, 20, will not receive the punishment she richly deserves.
