Tom Elliott on the balance between victim-blaming and reality
Tom Elliott says he’s been interested in the political reaction to the tragic death of Eurydice Dixon.

Tom Elliott says that view is completely understandable. However, it sadly isn’t realistic.
“The reality is this. We do not live in a perfect society,” the 3AW Drive host said.
