Sad news; the brilliant and brave Barbara Hewson has passed away. A feisty and courageous lady with flaws (aren't we all?) - her greatest mistake was giving too much importance to social media. Her few errors eclipsed by her many brave efforts putting the other side of the FalseAllegationsIndustry. A barrister who often wrote for Spiked, The Times etc and dared say the unsayable. There are not many like her and we miss her already. Cancer. RIP Barbara.

Great piece here in tribute to Barbara Hewson: Spiked article It also contains a link to her article decrying the 'persecution of old men'.
