In 2015, inspired by the BBC’s refusal to cover the tragic case of Jay Cheshire, HEqual carried out a ground breaking audit of UK media coverage of fatal false rape accusations which resulted in the suicide of the victim. Our 2015 study showed that the BBC (and the Guardian) had failed to cover a single…
Yesterday, Saturday 15th February, saw the death of Caroline flack, a former presenter on the popular TV show “Love Island”. Flack had been arrested on the 13th December 2019 after brutally attacking her partner with a lamp. She was suspended from her job, charged with actual bodily harm, and upon discovering she was to face…
On Sunday, HEqual was the first outlet to report on the domestic violence of Liberal Democrat MP Layla Moran. The feminist Member of Parliament admitted to slapping her boyfriend at a conference over a lost computer cable. We’ve been very pleased with the reaction to Sunday’s article, it was the most popular such piece on…
In September 2016 we reported on how Labour’s Domestic violence spokesperson Sarah Champion MP had received a police caution as a result of her domestic violence against her husband. Astonishingly, Champion kept her job (she certainly has some hands-on experience in the field!) and was widely praised by her feminist colleagues for talking about her…
Yesterday, the Guardian newspaper published the latest in a seemingly never-ending series of dishonest and misleading articles concerning the Eleanor de Freitas case. The “journalist” responsible was none other than leading misandrist Julie Bindel, someone with a history of lying about the issue of women lying about rape. The article was titled “Women who allege…
On the 18th of September, the BBC published an article by feminist “journalist” Katty Kay titled “The truth about false assault accusations by women“. The article was staggeringly poor even if judged by typical feminist BBC standards and once again Kay proved herself to be one of the most laughably biased members of staff the…
In 2015 Jay Cheshire tragically took his own life after being falsely accused of rape, with almost all the media reporting the case extensively. A notable exception to this was the BBC, who refused to cover the case despite significant campaigning by HEqual. Incredibly, the BBC then still refused to cover the case in 2016…
Last week saw the news from London that there isn’t a single domestic violence shelter place for male victims in the entire city. That’s a city of over eight million people, with vast wealth and huge tax revenues and massive government spending, completely unwilling to house a single one of its tens of thousands of…
On Tuesday Conservative aide Richard Holden wrote a must-read article about his experience of being falsely accused of sexual assault. His ordeal saw Holden resign from his job and then losing another only to be cleared in less than an hour by a jury with even the judge noting his innocence and the fiasco appears…
The 15th of June 2018 saw a depressing new low for British politics with the election of Labour’s Janet Daby in Lewisham East. Daby made history as the first ever candidate selected by not only sexist means but racist ones too, with Labour imposing an all women and all BAME short-list, thus denying not just…
