The barrister is talking about how you could defend a case because they are trying to change the law where there is no case and your guilty in all circustances if a woman says **bleep**.Which isn't right as thats guilty until proved guilty.

Do that to all law cases and hey ho...so I get what he's saying ie what people say in these circumstances and thus is the defence.The jury is there to decide and thats fair in my opinion. I agree wholeheartedly with **bleep** is **bleep** but saying and being it are different things .

No it's not an alarming viewpoint,some of the things he said are alarming as defences but as he says those are exactly what he's heard.

He should have however ended by making quite clear these were not his personal views ,but he didn't so therefore they probably are and it's alarming if those are his views he lasted this long and got to barrister level in law.
