Nanny Drakeford's Curfew Idiocy

 

Yesterday Baroness Jones of the Green party suggested that a 6pm curfew for men might be a good means to stem the daily violent attacks/rapes and murders on the streets of Britain.

This was, I assume, a tongue in cheek means of highlighting the fact that the bog standard advice to women is don't go out after dark.

Hat tip to the Baroness, it was a rather clever way of highlighting the problems that women face wrt them being made to feel guilty (for having the temerity to want to walk safely on the streets after dark) for the crimes of thugs and bastards.

Unfortunately, aside from the media and their dog whistle knee jerk headlines, Welsh Nanny in the shape of Drakeford in his ill fitting suit took the Baroness at face value.

Thus it is reported today that Welsh Nanny would consider bringing in local curfews for men to make women feel safer on the streets at night.

Okay, here for Drakeford and other idiots is why this won't work:

- it is wrong to punish the majority for the actions of the minority.

- the thugs who attack people on the streets won't obey the curfew.

- the thugs will attack people before curfew.

- many men work night shifts.

- thugs and criminals will simply identify as women, and therefore will claim they are not bound by the curfew.

If you want to reduce the level of street violence/attacks on both men and women you need to do the following:

- increase the number of police patrols

- increase the length of prison terms for convictions

- thoroughly investigate complaints of attacks/attempted attacks

- increase stop and search for offensive weapons

- improve public lighting/CCTV etc 

Curfews are bollocks!
