Here we go again. The end of the piece:
“Powell was given a 12-month community order and 200 hours of unpaid work and for the drink-driving, she was banned for 22 months.
For failing to stop, she was banned for 12 months, to be served concurrently. [J4MB: In plain English, no punishment for the crime, because vagina.]
However, if she completes a drink-driving rehabilitation course by October 11, 2026 she can reduce the ban by 22 weeks.” [J4MB: The government website on the course is here. 16 hours, usually split across three days over three weeks.]

In another example of the very different attitudes to men and women https://news.sky.com/story/man-accused-of-assaulting-police-at-manchester-airport-says-he-didnt-know-two-officers-were-women-13398629 In such an age of equality and where we can’t say “policeman” but “police officer” why would the prosecution take such pains to prove the alleged assailants knew to “police officers” were policewomen? Well of course because its deep in our socialisation that women are to be protected and not hurt and the jury and court will inevitably take a very different view of the female officers than the male. In the theory of employing female officers they are interchangeable with the males, yet this case shows that this fiction is a fairy story. The saddest part of this is that the real burden of maintaining this fairy story will fall on the male officer given he was left in a desperate situation by his ineffective female colleagues and is seen in a desperate struggle against two assailants without “Queensbury rules”. Already “investigated” and censured by his force as well as branded a thug by the media.
