And as it’s announced that “all this thanks to one fearless officer, someone who always goes over and above to get the job done… De Costa,” our concerns are confirmed. Her actions mean nothing.

As Sadie and Lucy (Rochenda Sandall) give each other that look – one that countless women in workplaces across the country have shared – it’s obvious that they’re used to being disregarded in their jobs.
