It is obvious that the UK has created a legal and social system in which false allegations are easy and also financialy beneficial to make.

As such it appears that the vast majority of rape allegations are false.

Judges should just start tossing cases at even the slightest hint of mishandling on the part of cops, as well as enforced punitive measures for cops who to do their job properly.

I feel if something isn't done about the way sexual harassment/rape/whatever accusations are handled, things could go really bad. It could be the case that people can just claim someone raped them, without any consequence once they're found to be lying, meaning that when a real victim comes, they won't be believed, and will get no justice

" Most victims' groups strongly support the use of the word victim. "

Ofcourse they do that, because word " victim" makes compassion and without victims, they would loose theire jobs.

People who, without sufficient cause and evidence, falsely accuse someone of lying about rape deserve to be forced to allow a succession of violent sex offenders to have their way with them, with the only rule being that they must be kept alive, so that they can be used as examples to show the lowlifes among us that is never, ever OK under any circumstance to casually dismiss allegations of rape, and that it will no more be tolerated than rape itself.
