raped twice

The Guardian reports that female asylum seekers to the UK aren't likely to believed if they report they have been raped (as part of their political/racial repression).

This isn't surprising in a country with such a low rape conviction rate.

The Vol-in-Law, being the enlightened sort, says "I believe that they were raped, but we shouldn't allow everyone who comes from a country that's worse than here to have refugee status."

This is off subject, but have you heard of a british female rapper named "Lady Sovreign"? She is starting to get a little popular in the states...

Ha - I'm the last person you should ask about such things. The name rings a bell, but that's it.
