    What a miserable and rude response from the news anchor @SkyNews

    People are saying in response to the Boris Johnson story that people should not get involved in arguments between a couple. We in the DV sector have been asking people NOT to ignore concerning altercations. PLEASE don’t undo all that work!

    I can predict there will be calls to restrict access to crossbows. Diverting the conversation from the real and urgent problem - the man who used the crossbow and male violence against women. Don’t be distracted!
