Whenever I have friends around, we have a new game. Every time a TV programme mentions or reports on cases of abuse, we cheer loudly and put a cross on the calender. The calender is rapidly starting to resemble the war cemetries of Flanders. The usual thing is for a deeply concerned woman journalist with a clip-board to present, in the gravest tones possible, this difficult subject, and wheel out some dithering wreck of a woman with an agenda. Even young Mikey worked out the fact that if one in four people have been abused, we should expect to see 15,000,000 court proceedings in the immediate future; thus ensuring that all other police work will come to an end, and with it, every moment of working time allocated to Social Workers, Psychologists, the CPS, Judges, Barristers, Court Clerks, Journalists, Editors, the Prison Service and anyone else who may find themselves swept up by the witch hunt. Its pure genius! It takes the mind off poverty, unemployment, immigration, economic policy, bad banking, corruption, incompetent Civil Servants, the health service, care homes and all the other issues associated with the daily grind. It can even be used as a political weapon. Has the time come, to get women back in the kitchen and the bedroom, and off our TV screens? Young Mikey seems to think so.
