:00:05. > :00:13.Tonight, we meet the addict who lost everything to a new type of gambling
:00:13. > :00:18.machine that allows you to bet £100 every 20 seconds. I don't even
:00:18. > :00:22.recognise myself when I was doing it now, sort of six to seven weeks into
:00:22. > :00:27.my treatment, my recovery and I look at it and think, what was I doing?
:00:27. > :00:30.How the big girls of Birmingham are fighting back. There are some
:00:31. > :00:36.small—minded people out there, who make going out to normal clubs not a
:00:36. > :00:40.very pleasant experience for plus—size women like myself. It has
:00:40. > :00:46.been long overdue coming to Birmingham. I am delighted it is
:00:46. > :00:54.here. That is all to come on Inside Out, with me Mary Rhodes.
:00:54. > :00:58.Last year, police issued over 5,000 cautions to offenders of serious
:00:58. > :01:10.crimes. Well, no more, as from today Chris
:01:10. > :01:14.Grayling has scrapped them. It is a story we have been working on for a
:01:14. > :01:18.couple of months, investigating when the police caution a criminal and
:01:18. > :01:22.for what type of crime. I think you will be pretty surprised about what
:01:22. > :01:27.we have found. Our story starts in Moseley, in Birmingham, with cyclist
:01:27. > :01:34.Anthony Perrett. —— Stephen Perrin. I love cycling,
:01:34. > :01:39.yes. I ride in most days. Mostly for commuting. I don't live far from
:01:39. > :01:44.work. It is not worth getting in the car to drive for ten minutes. He
:01:44. > :01:50.spends a lot of time on his bike. He uses it for his Birmingham
:01:50. > :01:54.commute. He records every journey on a head—mounted camera, just in case.
:01:54. > :02:00.I use the camera for evidence, in case of a collision or an act of
:02:00. > :02:08.violence on the roads. One March morning, he needed it.
:02:08. > :02:15.What are you doing? What's the matter with you? You want to go, do
:02:15. > :02:19.you? Go away or I'll call the police. He did ring the police,
:02:19. > :02:24.convinced his video evidence would bring the man before a court. It
:02:24. > :02:30.actually all starts off pretty normally — an average day. I am just
:02:30. > :02:36.riding my bike. I see the van ahead pulling out. I decide I want to
:02:36. > :02:40.filter down this gap here. I have miss read what this driver will do.
:02:40. > :02:48.I thought he would pull out. He is going back in. I see the traffic
:02:49. > :03:00.ahead is moving. Then you are aware of the van? He's nearly taking my
:03:00. > :03:05.head off with his car door. I am aware of him close. I do a U—turn
:03:05. > :03:16.here to go back the other way to get away from him. Chases me. And now
:03:16. > :03:20.you are on foot and the camera is all over the shop. What is happening
:03:20. > :03:24.there? Good heavy forearms across the back. When Stephen got in touch
:03:24. > :03:29.with West Midlands Police, expecting his day in court, he was told the
:03:29. > :03:32.best he would get was a caution. Thinking about it now, would you
:03:32. > :03:38.have liked it to have gone any further? I still believe he should
:03:38. > :03:43.have been charged with assault. It was quite vicious and it is still
:03:43. > :03:49.something that bothers me now. I still feel vulnerable. ??FORCEWHITE
:03:49. > :03:53.Arrested last night for a loss of temper, basically. Until today,
:03:54. > :03:59.cautions could be used instead of court if people admitted their guilt
:03:59. > :04:02.for a wide range of offences. West Midlands Police cautioned more
:04:02. > :04:08.people for assault than anything else, unless you smoke cannabis.
:04:08. > :04:14.Officers like Jamie had to weigh things up and decide. The offender
:04:14. > :04:17.themselves — one of the important things we are looking at is their
:04:17. > :04:23.criminal background. Have they been to court before? Have they been
:04:23. > :04:28.dealt with in ways we can deal with outside of police disposals? If we
:04:28. > :04:32.are looking at anything much other than court we need a full and frank
:04:32. > :04:36.admission. So saying sorry helps, but what about the victim? What they
:04:36. > :04:40.want, the outcome they want, how much of a part does that play? That
:04:40. > :04:45.plays a big part. In the final decision is what is in the public
:04:45. > :04:49.interest. That is most important. We get a wide range of victims. Some
:04:49. > :04:54.who want the most serious, the most punitive sanction we can do in every
:04:54. > :04:58.occasion. Others who feel sorry for the offender, sometimes and want to
:04:58. > :05:03.let them off. We have to take an independent view. We are sort of
:05:03. > :05:07.stepping in for magistrates in a way, as if they would do if it went
:05:07. > :05:12.to court. And that made us think. If the police are making that judgment,
:05:12. > :05:16.how often are they doing it? And for what other offences? We decided to
:05:16. > :05:22.ask every police force in England to tell us.
:05:22. > :05:27.And the results are surprising. Like the 1500 cautions for child cruelty
:05:27. > :05:33.and neglect. And 150 of those were here in the
:05:33. > :05:37.West Midlands. Lina's story helps explain why the
:05:37. > :05:42.Government is making changes. She was sexually abused as a child and
:05:42. > :05:49.her abuser was cautioned. From late into my ninth year he
:05:49. > :05:55.started to sexually abuse me. It carried on into early in my 13th
:05:55. > :06:02.year. It took a long time for her to pluck up courage to speak to Surrey
:06:02. > :06:06.Police. It was the first time I had broken the secrecy he had over me.
:06:06. > :06:11.The first person I told in person was the police, when I gave the
:06:11. > :06:15.statement. It was very difficult. It was very cathartic to come out with
:06:15. > :06:18.everything to somebody I thought would be sympathetic and
:06:18. > :06:26.understanding. Police told her why they were giving him a caution. One
:06:26. > :06:30.was he was elderly. He was in his mid—70s and the second was it was
:06:30. > :06:35.historic abuse, that the crime took place 20 years ago. On the surface,
:06:35. > :06:41.you seem incredibly composed about the whole ordeal. What is going on
:06:41. > :06:45.in the inside? The amount of emotional turmoil that I had gone
:06:45. > :06:54.through to report it to the police and take that stand in doing so, to
:06:54. > :07:00.then be told he would just get a caution was very surprising.
:07:00. > :07:07.Lina lodged a formal complain to Surrey Police. It admitted there
:07:07. > :07:11.were failings in its investigation. Two officers are facing misconduct
:07:11. > :07:15.proceedings and it has apologised to Lina, but the caution still stands.
:07:15. > :07:20.Her case is not unique. We discovered that last year alone,
:07:20. > :07:30.1500 people were cautioned for sex offences across England. It is one
:07:30. > :07:35.of the reasons this man says it was failing. He is the chairman of the
:07:35. > :07:38.Magistrates' Association. He is glad the Government has listened. I think
:07:38. > :07:44.there are two major issues with the current sis tesmt first —— system.
:07:44. > :07:50.First, the current system has been abused and misused. One—sixth of all
:07:50. > :07:55.sexual, indictable crimes is cautioned. One can understand the
:07:55. > :08:00.odd one or two, but never one—sixth. My second criticism is it is not
:08:00. > :08:04.transparent. Nobody knows who has been cautioned. If it is brought
:08:04. > :08:09.into court, the media are entitled to come to court and report the case
:08:09. > :08:13.on television, on the radio or the paper. Nobody knows what particular
:08:14. > :08:23.individual has been cautioned in some backroom of a police station.
:08:23. > :08:27.Surely, , that cannot be right. The man who speaks on behalf of them
:08:28. > :08:34.told me why, in some cases, discretion was needed.
:08:34. > :08:40.He is also Nottinghamshire's chibl. One in six sex offence, being
:08:40. > :08:43.cautioned according to the chair of the Magistrates' Association. We are
:08:43. > :08:47.talking about sexual offences, sometimes we are talking about
:08:47. > :08:51.offences which will be between consenting children, one of whom is
:08:51. > :08:56.16 and one of whom is 15. Sometimes we are not. Sometimes these are far
:08:56. > :09:02.more serious offences. You say so. The figures back it up. Let's pick
:09:02. > :09:10.up some of the figures. Where we caution for offences of rape. Since
:09:10. > :09:18.the 2003 act, consensual sex in a boy over 16 and a girl under 16 —
:09:18. > :09:23.where there is appropriate engagement with children's service
:09:23. > :09:31.rs, it may be deemed that a caution is an appropriate outcome. In the
:09:31. > :09:36.majority of cases they are carefully and the caution applied is both for
:09:36. > :09:41.the victim and for the defendant. But police will no longer be given a
:09:41. > :09:45.choice for all sex—related crime, including Lina's case. The
:09:45. > :09:48.Government is also reviewing all out of court punishments because of
:09:48. > :09:51.fears the system is letting people down.
:09:51. > :09:55.It is really good to know that the Government are taking that stand as
:09:55. > :09:59.well. It is also really good to know there are people in places of
:09:59. > :10:05.authority that have recognised what a serious crime sex abuse is. And
:10:05. > :10:08.are taking into account the psychological and emotional effects
:10:08. > :10:12.on the victims as well. It is really good the police are not going to be
:10:12. > :10:18.able to deal with it in secret now, that it will be dealt with openly
:10:18. > :10:22.and properly. She hopes the new rules will give other abuse victims
:10:22. > :10:26.the confidence to come forward. The Crown Prosecution Service is now
:10:26. > :10:30.reviewing her case. What do you think? Was it ever
:10:30. > :10:36.acceptable for police to issue a caution for a sexual offence or a
:10:36. > :10:43.child neglect case? Let me know your thoughts at my e—mail:
:10:43. > :10:49.Or perhaps you have a story I should know about. If so, just drop me a
:10:49. > :10:52.line. You are watching jp inside Out for the Midlands. You may have
:10:52. > :10:57.noticed there are more betting shops around than there used to be. Pop
:10:57. > :11:03.inside and the chances are you will not find many glued to the races.
:11:03. > :11:10.They are more likely to be playing high—steaks roulette on gaming
:11:10. > :11:17.machines. We spent £2.8 billion a year here on these machines. One man
:11:17. > :11:25.who has ma millions from gambling has launched a national campaign to
:11:25. > :11:31.get them scrapped. It is a world of high rollers and high risk. Nowadays
:11:31. > :11:36.you don't have to dress up like Jame Bond to gamble casino—style. Head
:11:36. > :11:40.down to your local betting shop. I have been playing roulette on a
:11:40. > :11:44.fixed—odds betting terminal. There are four over there. Four over
:11:44. > :11:50.there, four up there and just up the road, another four.
:11:50. > :11:55.These machines now bring in at least as much money as traditional over
:11:55. > :11:59.the counter betting. There are an estimated 2, 500 of them in the West
:11:59. > :12:03.Midlands. We were not allowed to film me playing on one. That may be
:12:03. > :12:09.because they are very controversial. That is partly down to one man's
:12:09. > :12:14.campaign. ??FORCEWHITE This is the name of the game... Derek, from
:12:14. > :12:19.Derby, feels right at home in a casino. He has made millions from
:12:19. > :12:23.gambling, not by playing casino games, but by inventing one, called
:12:23. > :12:31.three—card poker. It is dramatic. This was actually
:12:31. > :12:38.the first proprietary game introduced into British casinos. It
:12:38. > :12:42.has settled in and become the leading proprietary game. It has
:12:42. > :12:46.earned Derek tens of millions. It means he can split his time between
:12:46. > :12:51.his house in Derby and a home in Las Vegas.
:12:51. > :12:55.If the dealer was not in the game... Now this poacher has turned
:12:55. > :13:00.gamekeeper. Derek is funding a campaign against fast—play,
:13:00. > :13:04.high—stakes roulette machines on the high street.
:13:04. > :13:10.It is called the campaign for fairer capabling. —— gambling. Fairer
:13:10. > :13:14.because there is a big difference between playing on a machine and
:13:14. > :13:19.playing at a table. Here everyone would have their own chip everybody
:13:19. > :13:22.would have their own bets on the table. You would have social
:13:22. > :13:26.interaction between the players and the dealer would spin the wheel.
:13:26. > :13:29.Probably take a minute or two minutes to get the resolution of the
:13:29. > :13:34.hand. That is the difference, compared to a machine, similar to
:13:34. > :13:37.this one, the properties are different than this. This is
:13:37. > :13:43.regular, you can only bet up to £2 on this machine. What happens is the
:13:43. > :13:46.player on the machine can bet up to £100 every 20 seconds. It is a
:13:46. > :13:56.different experience to the experience of the live casino table.
:13:56. > :14:00.£100 every 20 seconds cost Roger his marriage and his job. He used to
:14:00. > :14:05.work in the City as a business development manager. That was before
:14:05. > :14:15.he got hooked on roulette. This is the walk I took sometimes on a daily
:14:15. > :14:20.basis. Minute after minute, hour after hour, within 100 yas four
:14:20. > :14:24.bookmakers. Used to go to one to the other. I haven't been here for a
:14:24. > :14:29.while, actually. Just a shame, just a shame.
:14:29. > :14:35.I don't even recognise myself when I was doing it now. Sort of six—seven
:14:35. > :14:42.weeks into my treatment. I look now and I think, what was I doing? What
:14:42. > :14:51.was I doing? Look at the opening hours — 9am—9.30pm. I walked around
:14:51. > :14:58.all four, I spent 9am until 9.30pm. Now he is in theory and —— therapy
:14:58. > :15:01.and trying to help others about what happened to him. It is the crack
:15:01. > :15:05.cocaine of the gambling industry. You can get your high every 15
:15:05. > :15:10.seconds and you are losing huge sums of money. At my worst I probably
:15:10. > :15:14.lost a month's salary within a couple of hours. That is hor
:15:14. > :15:23.denrous. The University —— horrendous.
:15:24. > :15:29.This man says these terminals should never have been allowed on the high
:15:29. > :15:33.street. They are different. Gambling machines are, in a sense, almost
:15:33. > :15:38.like addiction machines. They really do encourage you to keep on playing.
:15:38. > :15:43.And many of the people in the gambling industry, if you talk to
:15:43. > :15:46.them and get them off the record, they will admit that essentially
:15:46. > :15:52.what they want to do is get people in front of the machines and keep
:15:52. > :15:55.them there as long as possible. Games machines have been here ten
:15:55. > :15:58.years. In ten years no evidence has ever been produced to show that
:15:58. > :16:09.machines cause problem gambling. Today, Derek is taking his campaign
:16:09. > :16:15.to London. We are going to Thames Magistrates'
:16:15. > :16:21.Court and there's a magistrates hearing there between Newham Council
:16:21. > :16:26.and Paddy Power. New ham have refused a license to Paddy Power.
:16:26. > :16:31.They say there are too many betting shops and the machines mean these
:16:31. > :16:35.are no longer traditional bookmakers. If you want to place a
:16:35. > :16:41.bet on the horses, the football, that is all right. If most of your
:16:41. > :16:45.in S from other means, which it does in betting offices in the borough,
:16:45. > :16:50.mainly from gambling machines, it shouldn't be allowed. Paddy Power
:16:50. > :16:53.has appealed. In court, they win the argument and their license. It is
:16:53. > :16:59.seen as a test case and puts the campaign in the media spotlight.
:16:59. > :17:03.The campaign is continuing. We need to stop the most harmful and
:17:03. > :17:06.addictive form of gambling in Britain from growing in the high
:17:06. > :17:11.streets. Councils worry the machines are
:17:11. > :17:16.responsible for an increase in antisocial behaviour. When Panorama
:17:16. > :17:22.investigated last year, they filmed frustrated customers turning
:17:22. > :17:32.violent. Staff felt threatened. People just go s by Serbing, angry.
:17:32. > :17:37.They are tipping up stalls, trying to tip it over, simply because they
:17:37. > :17:44.have lost their money. We had somebody come up with a pickaxe to
:17:44. > :17:50.smash the machine, because they said they robbed him money. Adrian used
:17:50. > :17:54.to work for the Tote as a manager and remembers the machines being
:17:54. > :17:59.introduced. He works with Derek's campaign. When I was there managing
:17:59. > :18:05.these machines, I used to get calls day in, day out, about customers
:18:05. > :18:13.smashing machines up. They realised it would have an impact, not just on
:18:13. > :18:16.his back pocket, but his wife. The department for culture, media and
:18:16. > :18:20.sport have asked the responsible gambling trust for more research
:18:20. > :18:24.into whether the machines are addictive. That is due next year.
:18:24. > :18:25.The industry says they are acting to concerns about customers playing too
:18:25. > :18:37.long and losing too much. Well, the industry is going to
:18:38. > :18:41.introduce in the autumn a new code for responsible gambling which will
:18:41. > :18:45.set out a wide range of measures which betting shop managers will do
:18:45. > :18:49.to help people with problem gambling. The important thing is
:18:49. > :18:59.that betting shops in a place like Nottingham, which ce employs ——
:18:59. > :19:05.which employs 170 people. Derek says until steaks are reduced and play ——
:19:05. > :19:09.stakes are reduced and play slowed down, the campaign will continue. I
:19:09. > :19:13.am not antigambling but this is, it is clear. The evidence is in. This
:19:13. > :19:17.is the most addictive form of gambling in Britain. We need to get
:19:17. > :19:28.the Government to act. And we will keep you posted on what
:19:28. > :19:32.decision the Government make. In the mean time, maybe you need some help
:19:32. > :19:38.with a gambling problem. If so, you can find details of where to go to
:19:38. > :19:43.advice on our website. The address is:
:19:43. > :19:50.This weekend, a club night called Big Girls Paradise opened in
:19:50. > :19:55.Birmingham that is specifically aimed at larger women. The idea is
:19:55. > :19:58.that it creates a size—friendly environment. Something the
:19:58. > :20:03.organisers say you don't always find on a night out and that can leave
:20:03. > :20:07.some women reluctant to join in the fun. Is something like this
:20:07. > :20:15.pandering to discrimination or tackling it head—on? Laura Bates
:20:15. > :20:23.from the Everyday Sexism Project has been to find out.
:20:23. > :20:28.Verity is getting ready for a big night out. I am extremely excited. A
:20:28. > :20:32.little anxious. Hoping all our customers who come along tonight
:20:32. > :20:37.enjoy the evening and they like the venue. Most of all, that everybody
:20:37. > :20:42.has a good time. Hitting the town has been a bruising experience for
:20:42. > :20:46.Verity in the past. Unfortunately there are some small—minded people
:20:46. > :20:50.out there, who make going out to normal clubs not a very pleasant
:20:50. > :20:55.experience for plus—size women like myself. So, it has been long overdue
:20:55. > :21:00.coming to Birmingham. I am really delighted it is finally here. Verity
:21:00. > :21:06.has met lots of larger women who have had similar nightclub
:21:06. > :21:11.nightmares. She is delighted that big girl's paradise have asked her
:21:11. > :21:14.to host the first event. Tonight we are on the guest list with
:21:14. > :21:19.journalist Laura Bates. In the last 18 months she has heard thousands of
:21:19. > :21:24.nasty stories from women of all sizes. It started out simply as a
:21:24. > :21:31.website where I asked men and women to record their experiences, to show
:21:31. > :21:35.how bad sexism and sexual assault still are. It has grown. Eight
:21:35. > :21:39.Mondays in and we have 50,000 stories now. We have recently
:21:39. > :21:46.expanded to 18 countries around the world. Her Everyday Sexism Project
:21:46. > :21:50.is about encouraging women to speak out. Does she think it is
:21:50. > :21:56.encouraging them to hide away? Well, obviously, one of the most common
:21:56. > :22:01.things I hear about running the Everyday Sexism Project is women
:22:01. > :22:06.being judged on their looks, being held very harshly to account I is
:22:06. > :22:13.very frus —— account. It is very frustrating to hear the women had
:22:13. > :22:18.such horrible things. It sounded incredible and what a brilliant
:22:18. > :22:24.positive response to set up their own event. I am really excited. Hi,
:22:24. > :22:28.so good to meet you! Thank you very much for inviting me.
:22:28. > :22:34.Thank you. It is fantastic. With a glass of fiss to get the —— fizz to
:22:34. > :22:39.get the party started, Verity is on a mission to make sure the women
:22:39. > :22:43.have a good nigh It is an opportunity where they feel safe,
:22:43. > :22:47.where they can be themselves. Speaking from personal experience, I
:22:47. > :22:52.have been to club nights and I have been ridiculed. The general public
:22:52. > :22:57.can be nasty sometimes. Saying, oh, you have such a lovely
:22:57. > :23:01.face, it is a shame you have so fat. Laughing at you on the dance floor.
:23:01. > :23:05.It is very important for me that we bring an event like this to
:23:05. > :23:08.Birmingham. It sound amazing. Do you think it is quite a common
:23:08. > :23:12.experience? Do you think a lot of the other women who have come to a
:23:12. > :23:19.night like this have had similar experience? S? I would guarantee.
:23:19. > :23:23.How is it different from oh the ther club —— from other club nights?
:23:23. > :23:26.There is a positive vibe here. There's no standing around the dance
:23:26. > :23:32.floor and sort of jeering or laughing. It is a really nice, fun
:23:32. > :23:34.atmosphere. It is quite different to a normal club night. Let's go and
:23:34. > :23:47.have a look! The fact this is a size—friendly
:23:47. > :23:54.event suggests it is not so friendly out there in mainstream club land.
:23:54. > :23:58.We wanted to test that out with two of the women. I have experienced
:23:58. > :24:07.some bad things, really. There is a big sizism thing, to be honest. I
:24:07. > :24:12.have been called everything from lard to fat cow. I don't go out that
:24:12. > :24:17.often. I wait for that time of the month where I can go to a nightclub
:24:17. > :24:19.where I have like—minded people. I have people that will respect me
:24:20. > :24:27.from being me. Yes, it has. It has kept me in a
:24:27. > :24:30.lot. And even though I have got this confidence in a nightclub
:24:30. > :24:35.environment, I don't. I do not enjoy myself because I know
:24:35. > :24:40.that I am going to be ridiculed. I cannot stand that at all.
:24:40. > :24:46.Going in here, I am preparing myself for looks, ridicule, whatever. I am
:24:46. > :24:51.not going to let it bother me. It will not ruin my night out.
:24:51. > :24:54.It will be a shock for people to realise that on your way to a bar
:24:55. > :25:00.you have to brace yourself for that. It is unbelievable! At the same time
:25:00. > :25:06.they do the whole sizism thing. It is not a prosecutable offence. Where
:25:07. > :25:11.you ha racial and sexual discrimination, there's no illegal
:25:11. > :25:13.discrimination for sizism. It is not long before the girls are feeling
:25:13. > :25:22.uncomfortable. Are people really that shallow?
:25:22. > :25:27.Laura takes a straw poll from the bar? . I think there is someone for
:25:27. > :25:30.everyone. Everyone has their own taste in different people. Should go
:25:30. > :25:34.out, have a good time. Don't care what other people think. You would
:25:34. > :25:37.not ever, kind of get involved in anything like that. Do you think it
:25:37. > :25:43.is bad they have been treated that way? Definitely. Me, personally, I
:25:43. > :25:48.would have thought where I want to go for, other people go that way. It
:25:48. > :25:52.is not the majority of lads who think that way. They judge people in
:25:52. > :25:56.a way. Not everyone is the same. Don't think we are all like that. It
:25:56. > :26:00.is not the case. First of all, really shocked to hear from these
:26:00. > :26:04.women what they have been through and how severe it has been. The fact
:26:04. > :26:09.that they said that they have to brace themselves just to go on a
:26:09. > :26:13.night out before going into a bar, I just think is so upsetting to think
:26:13. > :26:18.that they are still facing that in 2013, for goodness sake. Quite
:26:18. > :26:21.heartened to talk to some of the guys we have talked to tonight and
:26:21. > :26:24.hear them saying, please don't think we are all like that and it is
:26:24. > :26:29.really, they have been quite shocked address well, I think, which ——
:26:29. > :26:31.shocked as well, I think, which is heartening to hear.
:26:31. > :26:39.The dance floor at Big Girls Paradise is calling and they are
:26:39. > :26:43.ready to let their hair down. There's no hiding in the corner
:26:43. > :26:48.here. Laura soon sees a different side to the girls. Amazing from, the
:26:48. > :26:51.time we walked through the door, well, it is like being on a
:26:51. > :26:57.different planet. Everybody is pleased to see you. They want you to
:26:57. > :27:01.take your coat off and get on the dance floor. Immediately, different.
:27:01. > :27:09.Everybody is happy. Everybody is happy.
:27:09. > :27:19.At last Verity can relax. The dance floor is packed. Tell me
:27:19. > :27:24.how it is going? I am delighted with t turnout. I have been going around
:27:24. > :27:28.chatting with people. The dance floor is packed. Everyone is having
:27:28. > :27:33.an amazing time. I am over the moon. What can you do here that you don't
:27:34. > :27:39.feel able to do in a normal club? Be ourselves. Be yourselves without
:27:39. > :27:45.being ridiculed — in a nutshell. It is the early hours and the party is
:27:45. > :27:49.coming to a close. So, has the Big Girls Paradise been a success with
:27:49. > :27:54.Laura? That is one of the most inspirational nights I have been to
:27:54. > :28:02.in a long time. It is devastating and made me angry to hear what these
:28:02. > :28:05.women go through on a night out. So incredibly powerful that they are in
:28:05. > :28:09.there and they are doing this for themselves. They have created this
:28:09. > :28:13.incredibly powerful response to such a negative issue they have to put
:28:14. > :28:16.up. That sends an incredibly strong message to the world about their
:28:16. > :28:21.strength and how they should actually be treated. So, I just hope
:28:21. > :28:28.the world listens. Maybe you felt the same as Verity.
:28:28. > :28:31.If so, drop me an e—mail: But that is it from me for this
:28:31. > :28:35.week. See you next time.
