“next” really ?
Maybe the standards need reassessing as they have done through time regardless of peer reviews . Having worked with firefighters having a mixed workforce there were certainly no issues about competency or skills .
Not to mention that firefighters can also use rams and crowbars and other tools to break down doors. The way that seesaw in the show is designed is to favour body mass, you don't have to be fit or strong to tip it, just heavy. In full gear she would have the weight necessary to get through that easily.tashekis castle and Private Benjamin aren’t necessarily the best way to illustrate a point
It's astonishing that victims are failed on three fronts: the police, support in the community and the criminal justice system.It's abhorrent that we're failing so badly on this.

Domestic abuse isn't a (relatively) new thing like social media/online abuse. Shameful that the policies and services have been failing.

EDIT: on a different point, this thread has (rightfully) evolved into one about violence against women.
Not sure how others feel, but does anyone feel the thread title could/should be amended to better reflect the discussion?

Sussex Police have had to up their game, I think, because of this high-profile case:I think I have mentioned upthread that my local force, Sussex, are excellent in the way they deal with DA and record every contact with victims on bodycams, as part of building a body of evidence. But further along the criminal justice route, the courts still hand down pathetic sentences.
I think the help needs extended to men too as they seem to be forgotten about a bit.
I know this is a thread mainly about women but I watched a programme about how there is even less help available and safe places for men to go.
I think there is only 2 refuges for them and it's perhaps even more difficult for a man to admit they are being hurt by their partner (women and men).
Yes, casualty can be really good for highlighting these things.There is a storyline covering abuse of a male by a female on Casualty. Really well done, showing how a very strong character can be coercively controlled into submission, putting up with and excusing their partners violence.
No coverage?You may not have heard about this, basically because there was practically no coverage of it whatsoever.
So this led to outrage on social media, and now suddenly it's made the news.

Do you actually have anything positive to contribute at all?No coverage?
Really?
Wow, you exist in your very own echo chamber.
It’s been headline news on the BBC since the poor women’s body was found, lead story on various radio stations.
But you never noticed until it became a chance to score cheap political points.
Probably because Brexit, evil Tories or Zionist didn’t feature.

@richp007 is right: there was an initial tiny report, which only became headline news thanks to the social media response.
And well done for scoring cheap political points in your final sentence.
Indeed - this happened last Friday, but really only hit the headlines yesterday, from what I can see.

You're linking to a BBC report dated 20 September, yet you and others are claiming the story only appeared yesterday.
Worth noting that this was the first time details were released by the police. Social media often publishes details before they are formally confirmed, but the mainstream media rarely does that, especially in cases like this as the family members may not have been informed.
I found a link that's even earlier - 19 September, which was five days ago:

Which is very odd behaviour for such a 'new' memberCongratulations on being so spectacularly wrong as per usual. It wasn't initially headline news at all.
And also for being pathetic enough to try and point score yourself on here by using such a tragedy. When I made no such insinuation. If anything I was being critical of the media.
But you stay classy.
