£300k to stop young Hull men becoming abuserspublished at 15:43 British Summer Time 7 July 2017
Hull City Council has been awarded £300,000 to support young men aged 16-17 who are at risk of committing domestic abuse.

The government changed the national definition of domestic abuse in 2013 and they changed that to reduce the age range to 16 because we know that nearly 50% of young people are in an abusive relationship if they're aged 16-24, so we know that it's a group that requires those interventions."

Quote Message
If you look from Flamborough Head to Spurn Point you end up coming up with budgets of billions, unless somebody invents some new technology which doesn't involve phenomenally expensive amounts of rock being put in the way then I think we've got to accept as King Canute sought to demonstrate in the past, however powerful you might think you are nature is more powerful still."

A Hull man who was among thousands infected by contaminated blood during the 1970s and 1980s is once again urging the government to hold a full judicial inquiry into why it happened.
