This is a different sounding band. Although is very progressive, it seems that is very intuitive. The singer kills it! All keybords by her. Very energetic and beautiful album.

An incredibly courageous lady, who chose to forego the anonymity that her court case granted her after her rape, and the judges appallingly lenient  treatment of her attackers, to become a campaigner for the rights of sexual assault victims

Darling Inspirational Woman #110 - Jill Saward Drake

(14 January 1965 – 5 January 2017)

Jill was an English campaigner on issues relating to sexual violence.

She was the victim of a violent robbery and rape in 1986 at a vicarage in Ealing, London, a crime for which the perpetrators' relatively lenient sentences led indirectly to changes in the law. Saward was the first rape victim in Britain to waive her right to anonymity.

I can remember seeing Jill on the news when I was a child but not understanding the full impact of her story and the bravery she showed at the time. On hearing of her death earlier this year I read back through some of the articles and watched the interviews that took place following the sentencing of her rapists. It leaves me cold reading the sentencing that the judge passed on her rapists, claiming that "Because I have been told the trauma suffered by the victim was not so great, I shall take a lenient course with you", Jill who was then 21 was at home with her father Michael, the vicar of St Mary’s Ealing, and her boyfriend, David Kerr, when a gang armed with knives broke in around lunchtime on 6 March 1986. Two of the balaclava-wearing men repeatedly raped her before tying her up with a skipping rope; another two beat her father and boyfriend with the vicar’s cricket bat, leaving them close to death.

Not even a week after the incident the despicable Sun Newspaper published a photograph of Jill with just her eyes blacked out, as well as an image of her home on its front page, jeopardising her anonymity. The newspaper's editor, Kelvin MacKenzie, said he printed the images because a rape victim only earned the right to anonymity once a suspect had been charged with the offence. This led to the Press Council amending its guidelines and the closure of that legal loophole, being the first positive change to follow from this act.

In 1990 Jill featured in an Everyman programme for the BBC with Jenni Murray. In doing so, she became the first British rape victim to waive her right to anonymity, this being her own choice and not that of a newspaper editor. The documentary was used to educate judges about the trauma suffered by rape victims. The judge in her case publicly apologised to Jill in 1993 (on his retirement) saying that his judgement at the trial had been a "blemish – I make no bones about it".

Later on Jill said “Sometimes I thought it might be quite nice to be full of hatred and revenge. But I think it creates a barrier and you’re the one who gets damaged in the end. So, although it makes you vulnerable, forgiving is actually a release. I don’t think I’d be here today without my Christian faith. That’s what got me through.”  

She went on to train judges and police officers on sexual violence issues, gave talks in schools, sat on government bodies considering changes to policy and made countless media appearances recounting her experience.

A candle for Jill Saward

I was really shocked and saddened to hear that Jill Saward had died. She was a one in a million fantastic person for whom I don’t think there are enough positive adjectives in the world.

I first came across her as a young journalist while studying rape reporting and jigsaw identification. Although rape victims were supposed to be anonymous, the way her case was reported…

Facebooker’s dismay at ‘low rent’ opening death in 2017

by Danny SoZ A starstruck Facebooker has expressed his disappointment, at what he sees, as the poor quality of the first newsworthy death of the new year. Jill Saward, a fierce campaigner for the rights of women who have been the victims of sexual assault and a rape victim herself in the 1970s, died yesterday aged 51. Mr Toby Dell, 54, who treats the death of celebrities as if he’s just been informed that his mother has been crucified by ISIS, told us last night: “I was disgusted when I spotted all the furore over the death of this woman on the news last night. “I mean to say, has she ever appeared in a film or even a TV series? She doesn’t even look good for God’s sake. If 2017 goes on like this it will be a very poor show indeed after the celebrity death fest we were treated to last year. Talk about low rent.” When we told Mr Dell of Jill’s tireless campaign to raise awareness about the treatment of rape victims and of her own horrific ordeal, he shrugged his shoulders and said: “And you expect me to change my avatar and pour out my heart on my timeline for that do you? I think not. Come back to me when you have evidence that she once appeared in a film firing a ray gun and I might have a rethink.”

Ealing vicarage rape victim Jill Saward dies aged 51

Ealing vicarage rape victim Jill Saward has died aged 51. The vicar's daughter - who became the first rape victim to waive her anonymity to speak about a sexual assault - was 21 when she was attacked at her home in 1986, while her father and boyfriend were tied up. As well as hitting the headlines because of the brutality of the attack, the case also received widespread attention in the subsequent trial when judge Mr Justice Leonard said the trauma suffered by her "had not been so great".

I make no complaint about this tag as it has enabled me to challenge politicians and work for change.

Ealing vicarage rape victim Jill Saward

Ms Saward went on the pen a book about the attack, which became known as the Ealing Vicarage Rape and campaigned on issues including sexual violence and violence against women. One of her recent battles was against a proposal to give people accused of rape anonymity until they are convicted which she said it implied the victims were lying. "In a statement on her website from her family said: "It is with deep shock and great sadness that we must announce that Jill Saward (Jill Drake) died this morning in New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton, following a subarachnoid haemorrhage on Tuesday. She was 51-years old.

New photo posted in JAZZ по русски: '🎸Ровно 40 лет назад, в 1980 году, пианист Bill Sharpe, барабанщик Roger Odell, басист George Anderson, гитарист Keith Winter и вокалистка/перкуссионистка Jill Saward пополнили британское фанк сообщество, основав группу Shakatak. За исключением Кейта Винтера, которому пришлось уйти из-за проблем со здоровьем, все упомянутые участники по-прежнему в команде. 🎸Изысканная техника игры слап-баса Джорджа всегда дает отличный драйв и грув - он часто делает забойные соло в стиле Жако Пасториуса. В сочетании с блестящими звуками клавиш Билла, точными и сильными отбивками Роджера они разработали и представляют свой собственный стиль #funk. 🎸Гитаристы, с которыми они играли, в том числе Кит Винтер и Friðrik Karlsson из Mezzoforte, добавляли звуки рока. Тем самым звучание группы так��е можно отнести к стилю #fusion. 🎸Обычно во время турне основной состав группы увеличивается до секстета: Jacqui Hicks - back vocals, sax & flute или Debby Bracknell - back vocals & flute и Alan Wormald - guitar & back vocals. #smoothjazz' https://ift.tt/2JyedBu https://ift.tt/2wYOUpy
