Ken Clarke

Poor Ken Clarke. He really should be hanged as a fool rather than a knave. We all know that some rapes are mnore violent than others and this is reflected in sentencing. He just needed to think before he spoke to an excellent, perceptive interviewer like Victoria Derbyshire. Sadly his proposal - which is worth considering - that accused rapists would have their sentence reduced if they confess, thus increasing conviction rates, will now probably disappear. Shame. but Clarke now looks close to 'old buffer' status and so needs to go. Shame - an honest politician.
