Women-only train carriages in the UK?

A charity set up in her name, the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, now campaigns for women's safety.

"We don't think the answer to this problem is creating women-only carriages," says Kristiana Wrixon from the trust.

"Action should focus on tackling perpetrators' behaviour and demonstrating a zero tolerance approach to sexual, physical and verbal abuse on public transport."

The face of modern feminism, folks. "We can't take this discriminatory action against men. Not because discrimination is wrong, but because the only solution is to turn all men into radical feminists, so we can live in a Utopian society where everything we don't like is unthinkable."

A letter in today's times reads: Sir, Jeremy Corbyn became my hero on Wednesday for recommending women-only carriages (report Aug 27). I could have done with such discrimination last February when I was "imprisoned" for an hour on a late-night train from Milton Keyens by a dozen female revellers enjoying a hen party trip. I had balloons explding in my face, streamers raining down on me from all directions, the most appalling fox-like vocals ringing in my ears and glasses of bubbly splashing on my best blue velvet suit. When I tried to make a strategic withdrawal to the toilet I found the door jammed. It really was hell on earth, though one lady carrying a cardboard cutout of a Chippendale described it as "hen heaven".

I do hope Jeremy Corbyn becomes prime minister and legislateds at the earliest opportunity.
