I welcome Professor Monckton Smith to read my report & up-coming criminal law paper on honour-based suicides, in which forced & honour-based suicides occur, with & without coercion. We call for a new statutory offence to be created because of deficiencies in the criminal law.

The war against women is so close to a genocide. For shame.
The Taliban are now arresting Afghan women simply for walking outside without a male guardian. This is not culture — it’s gender apartheid and cruelty. The world must not stay silent.
Classic threat progression here. Heartbreaking story of male entitlement. #HomicideTimeline #8Stages apple.news/Ap6tAIwHRSM-aC…
Warning: the content of the news report is awful. If this isn’t a scandal I don’t know what is. If any other group of people were ‘let down’ in the way women are by police it would be a national scandal where there would be significant repercussions news.sky.com/story/woman-ha…

About time. Too much sexual misconduct and bullying is covered up with the victims unable to speak theguardian.com/law/2025/jul/0…
#WRNAfghanistan. Standing with the women of Afghanistan who are being appallingly treated and dehumanised by the medieval Taliban.
So this one gets a suspended sentence because stress caused him to turn to CSA. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Just leaving this here. Do we really take violence against women seriously? sundaypost.com/fp/demi-hannaw…
We need some legislation specific to suicide coercion. It’s a real problem in coercive control. The language of ‘forced suicide’ is not helpful. news.sky.com/story/tyler-we…
Another sh*t show on the trains again today. First my train cancelled, then told to drive to another station to get a train - now paid extortionate parking at two stations. Connecting train over half an hour late (and going up every minute). Honestly, it’s got to be working from…
