Justice for Men & Boys 
The inevitable opportunity for a “white knight” to virtue signal, in this case a Conservative. The most idiotic comment is the idea that it’s hard to get a conviction ““It’s so difficult in this country to get a guilty verdict in the first place.” When the laws of evidence have been deliberately changed to increase the number of convictions. In effect making the law assume guilt rather than assume innocence. Good for this group raising the blatant injustice, in a country whose government tried to end the right of defendants to a Jury trial!

Scottish Conservative MP Pam Gosal said: “Survivors deserve to be at the heart of a Scottish justice system which currently panders to offenders rather than victims.”
The justice system, and particularly in Scotland, has never pandered to those accused of such crimes. Unless loss of anonymity, employment and even one’s life (by suicide) is conflated with ‘pandering’, while the justice system grinds its gears while attempting to conceal evidence which could prove the innocence of the accused. This sort of pandering we can do without. http://empathygap.uk/Rape%20Case%20Histories%20modified%2017_8_20.pdf
MPs should be more concerned that rates of false allegation, painstakingly compiled in 2006 by Philip N S Rumney, were shown never to fall below 12%, and could be as high as 47%. Yet Keir Starmer and Alison Levitt, in the 2012 Levitt Report, claimed that the rate was 0.6%. The Levitt Report is now the ‘gold standard’.
Justice for Men in this country has become a worthless fiat currency.

Thanks cp. The Levitt report of course conflated the low proportion of accusations leading to prosecutions with the proportion of false allegations. William Collins calculates in “The Empathy Gap” that the proportion of allegations made to the police which are false was 77%. I read his text as suggesting 77% was the minimum, but he didn’t go so far as to write that.

because of feminist propaganda, where basically any heterosexual sex is an assault, young women frequently report things that simply aren’t an offence. The Sexual Offences Act “modernised” the law to make practically anything legal so long as it was “consented ” to.Both extending what could be an offense but entering a nebulous world of what “consent” is. A heck of a lot of reports are basically regretted or embarrassi g sex ( with alcohol involvrd) where the key is was there “consent” at the time . Again no matter how regretted later much of what is reported isn’t actually an offence. These factors dramatically increase the reporting and then put pressure on Police and CPS to increase conviction numbers. The result was a lot of “sharp practices” and just plain illegality on the part of the police and CPS usually to hide evidence of consent from defence and courts. 2019 the Ministry of Justice , the Criminal Bar Association and even the BBC estimated this meant a quarter of convictions were “unsound”. I. The early years of this decade the number of cases going to court fell by ….25,%. Suggesting the estimates were accurate. The result was feminists on parliament got key evidence from smart phones excluded from investigations! Unfortunately there hasn’t been any effort to systematically review the cases before 2019 to free men wrongly convicted. So we can assume there are in prison a lot of men who should not be there.
