A Labour MP who told the Commons that she was a rape victim is leading a rebellion that threatens to kill off David Lammy’s plans to cut jury trials.
Charlotte Nichols, the MP for Warrington North, has tabled an amendment to the Justice Secretary’s bill that would establish specialist courts with juries for victims of sexual offences, including rape and domestic abuse.
Once we have special courts then we’ll have special rules for them, special training for the judges and so on. This has been a desire of the more extreme feminists for decades, that rape and similar must be tried to different rules than everything else.
You know, that boring insistence upon evidence and all that malarkey? So passe, eh?
Once there are those special courts then inevitably will follow those special rules.
No.
No!!!
If the garbage is too great, the jurors are more likely to give it the boot. Of course I’m thinking of Ben Roberts-Smith.
Looking at that case I think we should ask all the military heros to take a back seat and just cheer on the lawyers saving us from crazed, murdering villagers by sternly reading the rules of engagement to them in the presence of a judge…
As some nasty people (!) have pointed out she claims to be a rape victim. Unforunately for her the non rapist was acquitted…
Er…
Shouldn’t that one read ‘Men are guilty if proven innocent’, Theo??
We had those. Star chambers, I believe. How did that work out?
There is a Guardian article about this woman which unintentionally is hilarious. Not even they could describe a ‘rape’ as having taken place. I’m sorry but in my opinion, she is a liar.
Why, it’s as if the feminazis aren’t looking for equality, they want to be special.
“More equal than others.”
See this is the problem with MPs: they’re thick as shit but they don’t know they’re thick as shit, because they’ve never had real, adult responsibilities:
Not exactly physiognomy, but you can usually roughly guess a person’s intelligence or lack by looking at their eyes. This lady looks about as smart as a chinchilla
I think that you’re being somewhat unfair to chinchillas!
You beat me to the punch Baron! Chinchillas are far more amenable than this hideous harpy. In fact I’d far rather have about 500 Chinchillas in Parliament vs all Labour, Green, PC, Libdem, SNP and other Marxist MPs.
Indeed. Nothing would get done, which would be a massive improvment.
And she went to a reception, got drunk, shagged a footballer, fell asleep in his bed, woke up to find the footballer was having a second helping and then claimed she was ‘raped’ because she didn’t ‘consent’ to the second shagging. A jury disagreed, and she feels traumatised.
Rape should be involuntary vaginal penetration as a result of violent coercion, drugging, trickery, etc. Not giving consent again having consented once does not count as rape.
Her tears say more than real evidence ever would
Her tears are as narcissitic and performative as Stella Creasy’s posed ‘sisterly’ hugs.
The footballer must have had zircon-encrusted beer goggles, evidently.
She’s bland, but not f’ugly. He was no gentleman: apparently, he circulated a shot of her “gash” on WhatsApp.
“Hi. I’m Charlotte. I’m here to help you.”
“Well f* me.”
Not chinchilla, Steve….
That’s the typical look of a rabid chihuahua. That baring of the teeth is *not* a smile…
God, I wouldn’t.
Is Samantha Niblett MP (Labour, S. Derbyshire) more to your taste? She’s the dignity-phobic, publicity-hungry and narcissistic MP who wants to bring sex toys into the HoC chamber to encourage more openness about sex. It seems to have escaped her that Parliament already has a Black Rod and many Whips. Perhaps she’s into mass debating…
She actually looks quite sporty until one remembers she’s a Labour MP. There’ll be no jolly-hockey-sticks fun there, then.
She is quite fetching, but apparently wishes to encourage British people to masturbate more often, which I fear is unwise. They already seem to spend far too much time rubbing one out to OnlyFans (or on OnlyFans) rather than making themselves useful.

Isabel Hardman’s 2008(?) book, Why We Get the Wrong Politicians, suggests some reasons why…
IIRC, she argues that (and I paraphrase)…the system of political apprenticeships selects for ideological conformists – from a limited range of employment backgrounds (public sector, law, voluntary sector)…the pay, hours, boredom and job insecurity attract losers and chancers…party managers want lobby fodder and only a few high-fliers…backbench MPs have little power or influence (she recommends more power for select committees, which she thinks would in time attract a higher calibre of MPs)…
Is that the right photo? When I googled her, she had a distinct whiff of the tranny about her.

Presumably the acquitted bloke is identifiable to large numbers of people – his family and friends, her family and friends, others in politics and their circles.
If she is maintaining that he raped her I would have thought that actionable in defamation.
For sure, I only realised that the accused was acquitted on reading this thread. As far as the law (and therefore anyone else) is concerned, she was not raped.
Not if she only claimed it in Parliament.
