Why would a 14-year-old girl need to carry a hatchet? Because she doesn’t have a shotgun. Why would a 14-year-old girl need a shotgun? Because she doesn’t have a policeman to protect her. Why does a 14-year-old girl not have a policeman to protect her? Because they were told that her attackers have more rights to attack her than she does to be safe. Who said so? Her own government, from local council all the way up to the throne.
That brilliantly sums up the whole sordid mess.
