Truth won’t bother the Domestic Violence Industry
I had missed the BBC Radio 4 program, Law in Action on 22nd June which questioned the statistics which formed the basis of the Police’s campaign against domestic violence during the World Cup. It would appear that there is no such statistical basis.
The dishonesty did not bother two of the guests on the program; the Deputy Chief Constable of Gwent Police says the campaign “was never about the reliability of the figures” and the guest from AVA admits that the Data was “very dodgy”. Both openly stated that the dishonesty was not the issue; the issue was that the campaign resulted in resources being deployed.
In other words the fact that it was all a lie does not matter as long as they justified their funding.
I am grateful for this article here.
