The poor woman obviously has serious psychological issues - who wouldn't, after a horrendous experience like that - and I find it despicable that they are using her to bolster their image, knowing fine well how hard it is for someone to stand up and tell someone who has suffered in such a way that their feelings might not justify what she's asking for.

Oh Labour's campaign has been as cynical as they come. They seem to think nothing of trotting out people who've had some pretty unpleasant things happen to them and use them to justify their authoritarian policies. The implications are very clear, that if we just listen to Labour they'll look after us and make sure this won't happen to us while anyone else and that unfortunate person could be one of us.
