'I now know they had spoken to the couple before me and believed their story without even hearing mine. They marched me through the store and took me to Chelsea police station. It was the most terrifying experience of my life. They spent hours fingerprinting me, taking my details and my DNA, in a stark room. I kept asking if I could see a nurse, because my cheek was very sore, but I was told the nurse was busy. 'I asked again and again when I could make my statement, but the officer kept saying, “You can't make a statement, you're under arrest.” 'They asked me if I wanted to call anyone and I thought, “Who can I call?” I'm single and couldn't afford a lawyer because a lot of my work is voluntary and unpaid. My liberty had been removed and I had no voice. No one was listening.'

...

Three days later, her worst fears were realised when she was charged. 'I was in shock,' she says. 'I was told the CPS had made the decision to charge me on December 16, without even knowing about my counter-allegation. I felt the police had no interest in my side at all. 'They hadn't talked to any witnesses apart from the couple and a cashier who hadn't seen crucial parts of the incident. 'I felt like they just wanted me as a convenient statistic to help them meet a target.'

Welcome to our world, Ms. Heathcote-Drury. How is all that privilege working for you now?

Spit my frosted miniwheats all over my laptop at that one.

That's hilarious.

Usually feminists are very quiet about Muslims though. I wonder if they realize how hypocritical they are when they ignore Islamic sexism because they are afraid of offending immigrants by criticising their garbage culture.
