LAST Saturday I joined the Birmingham Feminists’ Reclaim the Night march in the city centre. I blew my whistle, chanted and marched with some wonderful, inspirational women and thoroughly enjoyed my evening. I came away with a great sense of pride and a feeling of real solidarity with people who wanted to make change and be heard. The message was loud and clear: the streets should be safe for everybody to walk, day or night, free from physical/sexual violence. There’s a long way to go before things will significantly improve but it’s certainly a step in the right direction to get out there and pound the pavements. The more of us out there, the safer our streets will get. For further information on Birmingham Feminists visit http://bhamfems.wordpress.com/

DVD Review: The Bounty Hunter (12) ***

Birmingham Mail — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 12:17:00 GMT

Her ex-husband Gerard Butler is the bounty hunter chosen to track her down, much to his delight. He still bears a grudge over their marriage break-up, though, predictably, the couple will fall for each other again by the time the film is over.
