Sarah Everard was a beautiful young woman who, last March, was abducted, under false pretences, by a policeman, who drove her to a remote area, raped her, strangled her then burned her body. Today, he's been sentenced to die in prison.

I'm not wanting to rattle on about the Met Police and their failings, etc. That's for somewhere else. My reason for raising this is that, as a bloke, I feel rotten. This fellow has besmirched male humanity in this country. He's made women feel unsafe on our streets. It feels useless at this time to bleat about how we blokes are not all the same (we're not, but how irrelevant that seems just now). I get all the arguments about the right of women to feel safe on our streets. But I think that we blokes have got a massive part to play. Male culture simply has to change. I can't currently get my head round this, but begod it's bloody important. Discuss...
