Met police publish personal details of sex workers; Legal aid 'shake up' likely to affect victims of domestic violence; Legal challenge to Budget

I am speechless.

The Metropolitan Police in London has published the photos, full names and dates of birth of three sex workers in East London. (The News of the World then ran with the story.) A force that should be protecting these women is exposing them to more danger.

And a 'shake up' of legal aid will cut the number of firms able to offer legal aid services from 2400 to 1300, putting victims of domestic violence at risk, especially for those living in rural areas with poor public transport, including parts of Wales and also Lincolnshire, where I grew up.

This, on top of the recent news that police in England and Wales will no longer have the power to ban domestic abusers from victims' homes.

And the Fawcett Society some days ago announced its legal challenge to the Budget set out by the coalition government, due to it disproportionately affecting women and minority groups.

I feel like hiding under a rock for the next five years.

But it would be better to agitate and organise. And so we will march.
