George Galloway pushes the toothpaste back into the tube: rape news update

ONE day on from his good sex guide to Julian Assange, George Galloway is pushing the toothpaste back into the tube. Having defined what is and what is not rape for the slack-jawed masses and put the allegations against Assange in the box marked “bad manners – must says please and thank you”, Galloway now adds:

“No never means yes and non-consensual sex is rape. There’s no doubt about it and that has always been my position. But, if my remarks on the podcast need clarification, I am happy to do that. Julian Assange, let’s be clear, has always denied the allegations. And this has all the hallmarks of a set-up. I don’t believe, from what we know, that the Director of Public Prosecutions would sanction a prosecution in Britain. What occurred is not rape as most people understand it. And it’s important to note that the two women involved did not initially claim it.”

So. Unless you quickly say publicly it was rape, it’s not rape? More facts to follow…

I think 2 Barrels has a point though,
.
And he only needs to “clarify” his statement because some oppertunist journo or poli-wanker is trying to score points.
.
Find me 2 women
.
Find me one who was actually, and violently raped.
.
As in walking through a park in the evening, going home, only 2 minutes left to walk,
Suddenly is getting punched in the face by a big strong man. She tries to fight so he strangles her. Suddenly she comes face to face with her mortality. Just as she feels she is about to die, he releases his grip, and tells her that if she makes a noise he will kill her.
she sobs silently as she is raped repeatedly, in both ends, while lying in a cold puddle next to some bins.
when he is done he stands up, tells her that he knows where she lives, and if she go’s to the police he will kill her, and burn her house down.
A swift final kick to the head knocks her out.
.
Now find me a woman who took a guy back to her house, had consensual sex with him, sucked his dick, with pleasure, then woke up to find him trying it on in the morning.
.
Get woman 2 to hear the awful tale of woman 1.
.
If woman 2 can look her in the eye and say. “I was raped too”. I’d be very much suprised.
.
Which is what both barrels was trying to say.
That to call that rape, lessens what rape is.
