Summary

Laura, Jim and Lisa discuss domestic violence, child abuse and stalking during lockdown - what's happening and how you can help.

We analyse boxer Billy Joe Saunders's behaviour an in particular the video he posted inciting violence against women and what you can do about it.

Please have your voice heard an be an activist - it's important.

Contact the British Boxing Board

And the World Boxing Organization

Billy Joe Saunders is back on Twitter. He may have apologized, an apology where he misstated the facts. However it is evident that his vile mysogynistic attitude has not changed over night. He is a repeat offender and this will happen again and again. The British Boxing Board should ban him for life.

And please don't suffer in silence. There are many trained professionals who can help, including:
