'There’s loads of other conversations happening all over the Internet. Join them.'
A multi-layered issue, certainly. Though laid out in a concise, easy-to-rapidly-devour manner, Let's Talk isn't without notable instances of three-dimensional commentary.
There is undoubtedly an element of humanising an individual who has committed a horrible crime, which is of course extremely sensitive material to deal with. Rather than just talk about things in terms of defining words or talk about topics in an abstract way. "It’s not work that everyone can do. It’s work that actually some people would be appalled by and would have no interest in – but it’s work I like doing."
"So, we seem to be comfortable and keen and enthusiastic in talking about consent when something bad happens to somebody – which isn’t a great way to start a conversation. A lot of people are usually quite worked up and emotional and someone is in a lot of distress and those stories and those experiences impact a lot of people.
"Some of us can do that just by our body language and the way we look at one another, particularly partners who have been together [for] years. There’s an understanding. They know each other way more than they did the first time they met. But with young people, in some cases you’ve got to break it down for them.
"I do see – probably more online, I don’t get personal messages, nobody stops me in the street telling me to shut up about consent or stop aiming to start conversations with young people or support young people, I just don’t get messages like that," he says.
