The hard-hitting advert shows Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) raping his girlfriend Maxine (Nikki Sanderson) after she refuses to give her consent.

A previous advert saw Patrick going through Maxine's phone, before telling her to get changed because she looked 'cheap'.
This new advert aims to show teenagers that sexual abuse and rape can happen while in a relationship.
Crime Prevention Minister Norman Baker said: "Many young people do not understand that rape can, and does happen in relationships.

To which I saw “their loss” while shielding myself from the Rains of Los Angeles under a tarp I bought at Fred Segal in my backyard and eating hummus with my hands. This season — the 24th if you can imagine — has been hit or miss. There are two grizzly old men named Tarzan on it, a handsome little person, some hot dumb guys, and a bunch of women who are, simply put, simple. Out of all the Survivors sent to that island, there has been only one person...

The government has arranged a summit to tackle the problems caused when drivers are misdirected by out-of-date information on sat-navs. Talks will be hosted by local transport minister Norman Baker in March on what can be done to ensure cars and lorries are kept safe on the roads.
