Okay, folks, you are listening to the latest chapter, the latest edition,

the latest series of Life on Planet Porky, with myself, the Porkmeister, Mike Parry,

and of course the rock chick writer extraordinaire, Ms. Leslie and Jones.

Miss Jones, how are you this fine moment?

I am excellent, Michael. How are you today?

Very well indeed, thank you. And I have to say, your voice is sounding as malifilous. Is that the right word?

Malifilus. Melifluous, yes. It's quite hard to say first thing in the morning.

It is quite hard to say first thing in the morning. I shall have to wait until I have my first drink of the day and then try it again. That'll be after lunch. Now, Ms. Jones, of course, this podcast is to entertain and inform. So I'm sorry we've got to kick off with a very serious subject today, but it's the subject at the moment

that everybody's talking about, and that is the safety of women on the street following the horrific

murder of the lady who took a walk home from Clapham Common towards Ballam, but of course never

got there. This is a most horrendous happening with really, really serious repercussions. Would you not agree?

It's touched us all, hasn't it? As it was unfolding on the television, the story, we all sat there,

just entranced with horror, really. I've got two daughters myself. I have a niece. I know you have a couple of sisters,

yourself. You know, everyone is touched by this because we all have women in our lives. And of

course, more than half of us are women. So it's all the old arguments come back up. Women are

attacked by men. Men are not attacked by women. So there is an imbalance

before we start. My son raised the point over the weekend that, yes, men do get attacked on the

streets. But one of my daughters then said, yes, but not by women. So males are the predators,

I'm afraid, and I don't mean to give all men a bad name.

I totally accept it.

At the vast majority of men, I'm sure, are perfectly safe to be around.

But the fact is, this woman was murdered.
