Your argument is structured upon measuring one form of abuse against another and deciding which is worse. An attack upon a vulnerable person aged sixteen is more heinous than an attack on one aged seventeen? That's your argument? That's your reason for criticising a campaign to help rape survivors?

Your stance is baffling and contemptible.I nothing more to say to you.

Well done to those who were protesting. It is so easy for politicians to make promises and then do nothing. It's really important to show them that we don't forget so easily and are willing to take action. Rape Crisis centres are so important and deserve proper funding. Until this happens please keep protesting.

These thugs didn't even care what he was saying, which is evident by their childish cheers and hollering at the end of the video. Mr. Johnson continues to do a great deal for London and the funding of rape crisis centres will do a great deal to help those women and men affected by the terrible crime. Instead of hounding him, they should be giving him credit.

Well, Boris Boris kept his promise - see the Evening Standard tonight for confirmation.

The only rational response for your group is to work for Boris' re-election. I look forward to hearing from you on the campaign trail.

I don't hate anyone, not even you. Do you swallow?

I completely agree with you. That is exactly what I thought.

You're supporting a good cause but with that "chicken feed" question you completely undermined it with a deeply unnecessary partisan attack. The impression I got from what Boris was trying to say is that there are some constitutional issues standing in his way (hardly surprising given he's only responsible for local rather than national government). At least he gave you four impromptu minutes out of his schedule instead of just cycling off at the start.

Mayor Boris Johnson will be making an announcement on the Rape Crisis Centres on Monday on his new YouTube channel /mayorsofficelondon

Just last week you were protesting and this week he is tackling the issue. He is the people's Mayor!

I'm not "making up statistics", i know as fact that the majority of women seeking help at my local crisis centre are adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

And your argument saying "if you had to choose" ?You're the one throwing that in, no one in this thread or in that demo or boris pledge or any government thing is "choosing one over the other", there is time and money and care for both subjects, it is not a case of "choose one or the other". Unless youre a hater like you online that is.

It's easy to make up statistics and say 'majority of women who contact a rape crisis centre are doing so as adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse'. Prove it, either way, it doesn't come down to one or the other, I'm just saying if you HAD TO choose, it would always be the child, if you HAD TO choose you'd do it to.
