1. When will justice system take women’s safety seriously.

2. Isn’t one of the charges for a rape that would have been committed while he was on bail for the original charge?

3. I tihnk the main reason for this is that his trial date has been drastically pushed back. It was meant to be later this month, now more like summer or August.

   The UK doesn’t have people rotting on remand for aeons like the Americans do. He’ll be subject to strict conditions, won’t have his passport, Man City won’t be reinstating him. So much as farts out of turn and the van will come for him.

4. I wonder what conditions he has on him. Considering he is accused of crimes while on bail before I suspect they are tough but I felt uncomfortable with a technically innocent man doing a year in jail without trial.
