The treatment in the UK people get for being alternative or dressing outside of the “norm” needs to be talked about more often it’s disgusting.

I watched her documentary when I was a teenager, and I was sick to my stomach when they said that the killers had been released from prison. Like, what kind of justice is this? I feel so sorry for her loved ones, and I also feel for her boyfriend at the time. I know he’s still traumatised by what happened to him and her. 🥺💔

Yeah it was like this in the early 2000s I was an alternative teen and always had to prepare myself before going out you’d regularly get shouted at or insulted but you got used to it, beaten up however I did get it once by a group of like 6 people, this was also in a small town of the UK just crazy

It’s awful people still fail to educate their children on how to treat people, even worse most adults are the reason the kids pick it up

I'm so glad you mentioned Robert too!! We all remember Sophie but Robert spent the whole time trying to fight off a large group of men to save her. I couldn't imagine the guilt he carries 😔
