1 in 4 women in the UK have been raped or sexually assaulted since the age of 16
6 in 7 rapes against women in the UK are carried out by someone they know
5 in 6 women who are raped in the UK don’t report it to the police
Fewer than 3 in 100 rapes recorded by UK police in 2024 resulted in someone being charged that same year
It is an abhorrent crime committed by cowards. Every perpetrator put in prison is a blessing.

Summing up to the jury, Russell Brands lawyer questioned why the women didn't scream or fight back whilst being raped/assaulted? .....This scene from the BBC drama Apple Tree Yard perfectly explains why some victims aren't able to scream & fight while they're being assaulted.

So the plot of the John Lewis 2026 advert is as follows. Grandmother opens door to her obnoxious, rude and badly behaved grandchildren who proceed to trash her house. Motivated to distract them in some way she searches out a cherished Christmas wooden toy from the attic. But that fails to impress the little shits either. So she resorts to buy the entire Christmas stock of her local John Lewis store to bedeck a room in her London W1 townhouse with wonderment costing £ thousands. Only then do the spoilt little brats show any emotional engagement. What message does this put out, eh?

If this doesn't inspire you to get off your ass and save our democracy, nothing will. In this moment in history, as Trump is systematically destroying the republic, this is the most consequential video y'all are going to see.

Your kid isn't a picky eater. Your kid is a marketed eater.
Jamie Oliver nails it here. In Tuscany, 4-year-olds tear apart charcoal-grilled pigeon on polenta with artichokes. In America and England, grown men won't touch a vegetable.
Nobody is born genetically wired for beige food. Familiarity is manufactured.
The part that should make every parent angry: he says his campaign proved London's bus-stop ads targeted kids on the school run. Sweets and junk food while they waited. Cars and holidays within 10 minutes of them boarding.
That's not advertising. That's hunting.
The good news: if taste can be trained toward nuggets, it can be trained back.
