I am from Dorset originally – went back for a holiday recently & realised what a beautiful part of the world it is – (too expensive to return). :(

Have lived in several regions of the UK – some nicer than others.
I spend alot of time in Teesside these days – what a very under rated area of the country.
Yes bits of it are industrial & yes many of the the big towns ie Middlesbrough has been left to rot – but there is also alot of redevelopment going on.

I hold my hands up to thinking it was all greyhounds & mushy peas up there – but a friendlier area I have yet to find with some of the nicest counrtyside 5 mins from most of the big towns

Oh yeah & they do crackin parmo’s & wicked lemon tops !!!! :lol: :wink:

Have a nice day :D/

I think they should of thrown away the bloody key!!! :x

Sounds about right though – letting him back here that is …….. :shock:

Let the people decide – I don’t think the nonce will be in this country too long when peeps discover where he is residing – lets face it would you want him living near you?? :-k :-…

Have you never heard of personal responsibility..or is it always everyone else’s fault?

Would you walk through Wandsworth or Tower Hamlets in a BNP T shirt? Would you drive at 90 mph with your eyes closed? Would you drive when drunk? If I drink so much tonight, fall over the cat n break my leg/arm/neck- whose fault is it- the cats or mine? Its mine for being so drunk I couldnt even walk straight

If you get blind drunk, so drunk as to make you incapable of rational thought, ANYTHING which happens to you is wrong, but anything which happens to you is more likely to happen because of your behaviour. It doesnt make it right but it makes it a darn sight more probable- how can compensation be awarded if you have contributed to your own situation

FACT- Alcohol reduces your reactions
FACT- Alcohol dulls senses
FACT- Alcohol reduces fear
FACT- Alcohol reduces the capacity for rational decisions

Now tell me again why its such a good idea?

I am sick of our society abdicating responsibility for its actions by believing it can do what it likes, when it likes, to whatever extreme it likes…..n when it goes wrong, it is always someone elses fault.

Your comments are fair enough slayer but have slightly deviated from the original question which was should the sentence be reduced for rape if you are drunk @ the time.

Sorry rape is rape – if some sick barsteward decides he’s going to force his attention on you pished or sober NO is NO.
The definition of rape – to force someone to have sexual intercourse.

In my humble opinion drunk or sober NO means exactly that.

And yes, we do all have a responsibilty to ourselves but, tell me this how can a rape victim be responsible for the actions of some sicko who sets out with the sole intention of violating another human being??

If we dug deep enough we could get on to the he/she was asking for it road & then there’s the poor sods that are wrongly accused of rape when the effects of the beer goggles have worn off & a drunken one night stand becomes a false accusation of rape …… there’s another subject entirely there.

I would be interseted in your responses if it was your nearest & dearest affected – would you say it’s your own fault you were drunk ???????

Me thinks not …… think you might want someones balls on a stick!
