She doesn't cringe and cower,
she's not a fragile flower
She picked on him and tricked him
She's not a perfect victim
She tells of his coercion,
he tells a different version
How dare she contradict him?
She's not a perfect victim
She unstable, she's a venter,
she's known to lose her temper
She pushed him and she kicked him
She's not a perfect victim
TUC Disabled Workers’ Committee strongly opposes the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.
The Bill includes new duties which oblige public services to share service users’ information with the police, which is an unacceptable shift away from a public health approach to an authoritarian approach, which will erode trust between public services and disabled people.

Be streetwise, girls, be streetwise
and you won't get false-arrested
Look out for cuffs and meat knives
Be streetwise, girls, be streetwise
and memorise our treatise
on what to do when pestered
Be streetwise, girls, be streetwise
and you won't be false-arrested

A classic of Great British humour
Slapstick, slap-and-tickle,
caught on candid camera
And everyone likes to see
the bad guy get his comeuppance,
don't they?
But there is something of
the gangster genre
about it too
where Al Capone is brought down
for his dishonest affairs
not for the cruel and unnecessary deaths on his watch
China jails citizen journalist for Wuhan reports
Four years in jail for citizen reporter
Who spread the news from virus-struck Wuhan
Her mother cries in court to lose her daughter
She showed the world the sickness, did Zhang Zhan
So ominous the charges that they brought her
For breaking China’s free expression ban
Their stricken morals under smoking rubble,
‘Picking quarrels and provoking trouble’
