Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

“Some of the appalling details here London woman Polly Murphy guilty of Clacton hotel room murder – BBC News. “After the jury delivered its verdict, Self’s mother, Ashe, said: ‘Like so many men, James was embarrassed by the control and violence being inflicted on him. Sadly, he would never come forward to seek help.'” This murder a culmination of many “incidents”.

It’s an easy thing to deny men justice by doing nothing to invite them to even approach authorities. Were there even a third of the effort put into helping women, it would make a difference. Yet the reality is it’s given practically zero effort and resources. Contrast that with all the help for women and the policy of not even punishing women and closing all women’s prisons! Making this case of a not suspended custodial sentence all the more rare. Imagine the unlikelihood of a father having his children’s feelings being considered.”
