with sajid javid saying…
Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said there is a compelling argument that easing coronavirus restrictions is needed for the country’s health. Although the steps the country has taken have saved countless lives, rules have caused a shocking rise in domestic violence
i’ve seen people claiming it as disingenuous, but if you take it at face value and sorry if i’m missing something obvious here, or being insensitive- does anyone know anything specific that could in any way reduce domestic violence when all restrictions are lifted, compared to the current restrictions? it doesn’t feel like there are many restrictions now- masks and no nightclubs, i can’t see a relationship to domestic violence there, but willing to learn.
There’s a lot of stuff out there on google about it, but essentially (as I understand it in very simplistic terms) making it harder for someone to leave their house and talk to other people gives more power to abusers because that’s one of the things they do to ensure they get away with it.

thanks very much. i feel foolish for not connecting masks and distancing with the communication you mention. don’t know, but guessing the difficulty leaving the house is related to work from home.

Ha. There was some chatter about this in local facebook groups at the weekend.
It’s completely baffling how this ended up happening.

I think from something I read on Twitter it also has an enhanced prosthetic bum not visible in the picture, so it’s not the dildo being on the bum, it’s that the monkey has both a notable dildo and butt.

That dildo was at eye level
You should submit this to FullFact for their clarification.

Looks very much like a copy of Dear Zoo on that bench underneath them. In which, rather irksomely, all the animals are referred to as he or him, for no good reason (with the exception of the Lion with a mane, I suppose) other than lazy/old-fashioned writing.
They sent me a monkey, but he was too dildo-y so I sent him back
