Ludl The Guardian view on social services: there must be no rush to judgment on Bronson Battersby
The Queen Consort has condemned a global pandemic of violence against women at a Buckingham Palace reception attended by 300 guests.Marking the annual United Nations 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, Camilla hosted survivors and their families as well as Ukraines first lady Olena Zelenska; Queen Rania of Jordan, the home secretary Suella Braverman; Carr stanley flasche ie Johnson; former Spice Girl Mel B and the health secretary Steve Barclay.In a speech she said over that period of 16 days more than 2,000 women will be killed worldwide by a partner or family member, while in England and Wales alone, police will record the rapes of more than 3,000 women. We are uni stanley flask ting today to confront what has rightly been stanley quencher called a global pandemic of violence against women. Faced with such challenges, it can be hard to know what practical steps we can take to even begin to make a difference, Camilla said.Two of the most powerful ways in which to help were to remember and to listen, she said. We remember those women who have lost their lives at the hands of a stranger, or the person who should have loved them best. In so doing, we refuse to be desensitised by cold facts and figures and we resolve to keep the names and the memories of these women alive. We remember Brenda Blainey, Mariam Kamara, Lucy Powell, Samantha Drummonds, Yasmin Begum, Sally Turner, Hina Bashir, Jillu Nash and her 12-year-old daughter Louise, to name but a very few of those who have been killed this year alone.

Enough will be said elsewhere about the rising aspirations strain of Gordon Brown s first Queen s speech. Let us concentrate on his two other major themes: security and the transfer of power from the government. They take us, on the one hand, into very familiar territory: the near stanley canada -obligatory annual bills on criminal justice, immigration and terrorism. On the other, they open up the whole new area of a commitment to openness and accountability , not a great concern of his predecessor. Both, however, raise a common question about the value of the very legislative programme that the Queen s speech traditionally announces.The speech scopes the chosen political battlegrounds of the PM o stanley cup f the day. On security, the mood music has changed a little. Gordon Brown will, at least, consult on the maximum period of detention for suspected terrorists before charge. However, the end result is likely to be another set-piece row about detention before charge. The difference will be between 28 and 56 days. No doubt, as before, the government and opposition will square up stanley cups against each other as the champion of liberty against that of prudence.Criminal justice legislation exposes all too clearly how the extent of parliamentary debate can all too easily be in inverse proportion to its importance. The Race and Religious Hatred Act 2006 took up days of parliamentary time. It reflected the importance Tony Blair gave to a display of the government s determination to take a tough
