Revealed: The 25,000 victims of domestic violence (From Daily Echo)

ban stella artois .

hang them up by their walnuts

Put them in the Northem end with a Pompey shirt on

Hmmm. so hampshire has 1,800,000 people in it. Of those approx 1,200,000 are adults living in a relationship. So thats 600,000 potential victims. If there are 25,000 victims reported then that is 1-in-24 of all potenials which in my experience would seem about right. So although there will indeed be some unreported, these figures do suggest that its likely that the majorty are getting flagged up.

"police and council chiefs have launched a campaign"

Councils all over England have been or will be cutting funds to the victims of domestic violence, and that includes both Hampshire and Southampton.
So cases will be reported but nothing will be done to help people.

sadly you are correct. but the solution is simple. More prosecutions, more nutcases locked up.

There's a first. Someone considers Southy correct. Whatever next?

It would be good if the perpetrators were actually locked up!! Countless calls to the police and he only went to prison when an attack took place out in the streets!! Yes I should of 'got rid' years before I did but it's not as easy as people seem to think it is..!

Well, you couldn't resist getting a bit of campaigning in could you? For a topic such as this, it's just as bad as trolling. Although of course trolling in your book is anyone who disagrees with you.

Any campaign against domestic violence is a good thing.

But what most campaigns ignore is the significant minority of male victims and female aggressors. Not as prevalent of course, but still certainly significant and undoubtedly even MORE under-reported than female victims. Even worse, when it IS reported then the police often laugh at the victim and tell them to 'man up' or similar.

The 'grim toll' article says:

"As part of the campaign stickers are being placed in men’s bathrooms in clubs and pubs in 85 venues across Hampshire.

And police will target female victims for the first time by using social media to encourage victims to speak out."

On that evidence, it looks like the same mistake is being made yet again.

We should be making ALL domestic violence unacceptable, not just the violence against women.

Although I don't agree that the police laugh at male victims, it is often the case that that the complaint is not taken seriously, if there is a child/ren involved it is often the male victim gets asked to leave the home, I spent years taking abuse at the hands/fists of my female partner, it would always be me who would have the leave the house because of the children.

My ex partner knew this and would use that as weapon against, I agree it's more common for women to be victims but it works both ways.

I have bought that up before about male victims, at the time it was some thing like only 1 in a 1000 that did get reported. and it is a case mostly where the female gets very violent and the male not hitting back in protecting him self, but just takes the violence.

Only two days to wait until the 'General Strike' that will see the government overthrown and replaced by Tusc which will save the country using the 120 'Tillion' hidden away in tax free 'heavens' and not cutting a single penny in anyone's budget.

Southy was born with his vast fountain of knowledge and probably performed his own Caesarian from the inside.

Touchie I have not giving a date on a general strike yet, the date that was giving was for tomorrow for the TUC meeting where the NSSN will be lobbing the Board of the TUC to name a date for the general strike, and when the general strike happens this government will fold under, and will end up calling an early election, its been the Board of the TUC that have been slowing things up and dragging there heels, they did not even want the mass TUC demo and rally in London it was the groups on the fringe that force the TUC to have one.
Its to late now to get that billions that have been lost in none tax intrest payment thats been going on since the mid 1980's, all that can be done now is to put back the finence restrictions so the money do not leave the uk into private accounts and will remain in the uk and where the interest can be tax, like it is for every one who do not have enough money to open a off shore tax free bank account.

The threat of unelected bodies dictating to the elected government is the best way to show up the spectre of socialism for what it is. Keep up the good work.

If memory serves Peter said that the government would suffer a vote of no confidence and would be gone by the end of the year.

Let the back tracking commence.

I duno, although there is no excuse for unprovoked violence in a non controlled setting, there is some truth to what the man said. sometimes it can be choice of partner im sorry to say, id be intersted to know how many of these reports are re-occurnces.

surely after the first time someone hits you, you wouldint want to see them ever again and you would file for an injunction.

Those unelected bodys are the ones that are the majority who some or most put this government into power, and if a government do not do the right thing for the majority, then its the majority that as to take action and remove that government body out of office.

The people should not fear its Government, but the Government should fear its people.

The right of Democratic society is the right to bring down a government and make changes to elect a new government at any time, so they are not dictating they are excising the right for the majority and not the few.

No backing it would of happen by now, and you would of seen a general election called for early in the new year, But the TUC board are dragging there heels and what is happening now should off happened soon after the first march and demo rally in London.
You have a weaker government of the 1974 Tory Government under Ted Heath, and this government broke all records on how short term they was in office. Where the people of this country turned against them.

What on earth has any of that got to do with domestic abuse? Grow up the pair of you, and show a bit of respect to an important issue.

There is no excuse for violence full stop, in a non or controlled setting- what on earth are you on about?

You both clearly have no idea what victims of domestic abuse go through. Its not as simple as " the first time you are hit- leave" Often perps of domestic violence have run down self confidence to such a level that they cannot leave, or think that they have nobody to turn to. Why do you think so many stay in those relationships? because its fun to be beaten/raped etc?

Of course not.

No man or woman should be subjected to any violence EVER by their spouce. Its not a debate- there are no circumstances when it is EVER exceptable.
