TV presenter Davina McCall has sought to 'clarify' a Twitter post about Sarah Everard

that in the year to March 2020, 207 women were killed in Great Britain , meaning about one in five killings were of women.The number of female victims was lower than in the previous year, when 241 women were killed, but that was the highest number in a decade.

During that decade, there were 4,493 male victims of killings and 2,075 female victims in England and Wales. More than nine out of 10 killers were men.Ms Everard's death has sparked widespread anger, with hundreds of people gathering on Clapham Common at the weekend to pay their respects to the marketing executive, who went missing while walking home from a friend's house.

Police officers removed a number of women from the gathering and arrested four people for public order and Covid offences.In a statement to the House of Commons on Monday, Home Secretary Priti Patel said the case had "rightly ignited anger at the danger posed to women by predatory men, and anger I feel as strongly as anyone".

She said she was committed to listening to women and girls, but urged people not to "participate in large gatherings or protests".

Ents Meanwhile the PM and Home Secretary stood by and let the Met brutalise mourners... not sure Davina's tweets were the story here.

Jesus. She made a very valid point.

Well that is her career over as the loony left demanded that she be punished and the spineless companies will give into intimidation

Never apologise they will sense blood and destroy you

A woman is harassed by the media for voicing her opinion.

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about makoviclisa wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

Tower of Babble comes to mind!

Davina McCall getting lots of backing here from the raging right for some reason?

Is Davina the next victim to be forced to apologise?

Mental. You'll need a lawyer to proof read tweets soon!

...’and it might lose me some work opportunities 😏...’

Davina was right though. I feel the same. Cancel culture needs to end.

Why are you posting such inflammatory stories? You can see full well that what she wrote wasn't 'victim shaming'.

‘I’m sorry if you misinterpreted my original tweet 🙄😡...’

Please tell me she didn’t capitulate to the twitter mob?

She’s nasty

Your not allowed an opinion of your own anymore

She says something reasonable and the woke obsessed BBC (and I hate saying that but..) has to jump on it. Never apologize for having an opinion.

Davina McCall addresses 'terrifying misinterpretation' of Sarah Everard post amid backlashDAVINA MCCALL has set the record straight on a tweet she shared about female abduction and murder in the wake of Sarah Everard's case this week. I would like to think that ThisisDavina words were taken out of context. I'm a mother of a child that also 'was only walking home' and measuring mens mental health to the fear of being raped is like comparing apples with oranges.
