Keeping that man out of sight, out of mind

Government ‘dragging its feet' over harassment act, says MP
Tunbridge Wells MP Mike Martin has accused the government of "dragging its feet" over the implementation of a law to criminalise public sexual passed the Protection from Sex Based Harassment in Public Act in 2023, which was introduced by the previous Conservative Tunbridge Wells MP Greg Clark following a campaign from his the law is yet to come into force because the government is required to pass a "statutory instrument". The previous Conservative government's plans to do this last year were interrupted by the general Wednesday, MPs rejected an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill, proposed by Martin, which would have enforced the act. The act created a new specific offence for harassment in public on account of an individual's sex, including intrusive or persistent staring or questioning, following someone, sexual or obscene comments, propositions or gestures and non-consensual physical Liberal Democrat MP said he had met or received communication from the government five times over the last eight time they had "failed to say when the act will be implemented", he said: "This act is an extremely important building block in our campaign to reduce Violence Against Women and Girls in this Parliament – a goal I feel incredibly strongly about."I would have thought the Government – with its aim to halve Violence Against Women and Girls – would want to see this act enforced quickly."The Home Office has been approached for comment.

‘You wouldn't risk the lives of cute Labradors,' campaigners demand greyhound race ban
The whole of the UK needs to come together, say campaigners. Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A GREYHOUND rescuer has called on the Scottish Government to follow Wales' footsteps in banning 'horror' races. Activists want a nationwide axe on such events after 109 greyhounds died trackside and a further 4,238 were injured according to the last official UK figures in 2023.

Credit: Getty It was announced in February the sport would be banned 'as soon as practically possible' in Wales after a mass petition led to a decision to outlaw the practice. Now campaigners in Scotland have called on decision-makers to curb what they view as barbaric animal cruelty — a stance backed by Scottish Green MSP Mark Ruskell who lodged a members bill in parliament proposing a ban last month. Lorraine Baker, who runs the Scottish Greyhound Sanctuary, told us: 'Apparently we're a nation of dog lovers — unless it's a greyhound. If you took six Labradors and put them on a greyhound track with some food at the end, one of them would win. 'But nobody would think it's ok. For some reason it's different with greyhounds. 'The racing has only been happening for about 100 years and if you go back further than that it didn't exist. 'So it's a relatively short term aberration that needs to be ended.' Thornton Stadium in Kirkcaldy was the only operating track in Scotland in recent years. It closed until further notice in March, citing difficulties with finding a betting partner and concerns about the proposed ban. Meanwhile Shawfield, in Rutherglen, ceased operating in 2020 after 15 deaths and 197 injuries to greyhounds in the preceding three years. There were once more than 20 tracks in Scotland but the sport's popularity has dwindled since the middle of the 20th century. Has greyhound racing gone to the dogs? But it's understood there are still 19 licenced stadia across the UK and that Scottish dogs are often taken to England to race on weekends. Lorraine has saved greyhounds with catastrophic injuries and believes the only way to ensure their safety would be a UK-wide ban. She said: 'The impetus for it has gained momentum. I've been involved for 15 years and when I started there was not a great call for a ban. 'But anyone who works in rescue knows it's an unsustainable position. Racing dogs are the most needy. 'They haven't been socialised, 90 per cent are born in kennels. They've been through so much yet are often the easiest dogs to adapt to a new home. 'I think that's because they know they've been rescued and are happy to jump on the couch because they didn't have it before. 'Many dogs are injured and [it's worse] when they die. They often have heart attacks and broken necks. The injuries can be catastrophic.' Gill Docherty, of campaign group Scotland Against Greyhound Exploitation, spent years protesting outside Thornton and other tracks. Her petition for a ban in 2019 was the most signed in Scottish parliamentary history with nearly 30,000 signatures. She said: 'We've been campaigning since 2017, when Shawfield stadium in Glasgow was still operating and had 15 positive drug tests. 'The level of death and injury on UK tracks was wholly unacceptable and our team are all hound owners and rescuers so we know how gentle this breed is, and how loving they are. 'There is no purpose to greyhound racing other than entertainment and gambling and for dogs to have to die for that is appalling.' If passed, Ruskell's Prohibition of Greyhound Racing (Scotland) Bill would create an offence of permitting a greyhound to compete at racetracks, with a maximum sentence of up to five years. The Greyhound Board of Great Britain said the bill had 'no relevance' to Scotland as no licenced racing was presently taking place. But Lorraine reckons Scotland joining Wales in enforcing a ban could force England — where Scottish dogs are allegedly still racing — to follow suit. She said: 'We need an outright ban across the UK. A majority want it banned and the polls seem to indicate that.' Ruskell agrees. He added: 'We are a nation who pride ourselves on being at the forefront of progressive fundamental rights, and that should extend to our dogs. 'We must end racing forever. Gambling on the lives of dogs is cruel, outdated and never worth it, and I urge my fellow Parliamentarians and our Government to back my Bill and give greyhounds a better life. 'The Welsh Government has shown that a ban is possible. It's time to follow suit and put paws before profit.'

'I didn't want to vote but I did last minute'
A Guernsey man who was not going to vote in the general election said he changed his mind because he felt he had to use his vote "wisely".Lee Corbet used just six of his 38 votes, saying there was "no point in voting for somebody you don't want to do the job".Mr Corbet, who had registered despite not wanting to vote, said "if you don't register you don't have the chance to vote."More than 27,000 people were registered to vote in the island's general election. This general election is the second island-wide vote since the electoral system was changed prior to Corbet said it was "hard work" to get through the manifestos."The manifesto's were a nightmare, but I used a summary page and I just did some podcasts on the [candidates] I had left," he said."Voting for 38 people is not possible, the old parish system where you used to be in contact with your deputy and you knew who was representing you, it was much more relevant." Arwen Langlois, 16, made her way to Les Maingys Activity Centre to cast her first ever votes in the midst of preparation for her prom."It was a lot easier than I thought and wasn't as stressful as I thought. Everyone had built it up to be this stressful thing but it was nice and calm," she said."Voting is important because then you can express your opinion and views and you can make a difference to the island, which is really important, especially for a younger person."I used seven of my votes, I decided to [vote for] the ones that would help the younger generation, women's rights, no discrimination in our island." Unlike Mr Corbet and Ms Langlois, 32-year-old Oliver Baxendale used all 38 of his votes, one of the few people the BBC spoke to who had."It was an interesting experience, there is quite a range of candidates and it was difficult to find a selection that I really wanted," he said."I tried to make some educated decisions as best as I could. "There was a lot of focus on housing, that's a common issue that is coming up right now so that was one of the things that I was bearing in mind when I was making my decision." Forty-year-old Annaika Le Lievre said she used about 20 of her votes when she went to the polling station at the Castel Douzaine Room."There was certain criteria that I went through and quite a lot of them didn't fill that," she said."I wanted some representation especially of women, there is a lack of woman representation at the moment so it was nice there was quite a few this year going forward."Also a few younger candidates as well, it's nice to get change the demographic up."
