Two years ago our father killed our mother, Claire (50), and our little sister, Charlotte (19), with a sawn-off shotgun before killing himself. This followed nearly three decades of controlling and coercive behaviour and was only four days after my younger brother Ryan, 25 at the time and I, 26, had raised enough money to break our mother and sister from the family home and relocate them to a small rental house five miles away. On 19 July 2016 our father shot and killed our mum, Claire, and our nineteen-year-old sister, Charlotte. It was the result of decades of abuse and controlling and intimidating behaviour. He was a tyrant who wouldn’t let his family live outside of his domination. Our father was a terrorist living within our own home"

After the murder of their mother and sister by their father

Domestic abuse silences women. Abusers will use every means possible to control their victim, and taking away her voice, be it through isolation, control or murder, is a culmination of that control. What Luke and Ryan have achieved by writing Operation Lighthouse is to give their mother and sister a voice. By telling their family’s story, revealing the hidden truth about the terrorist living in their home, their mother and sister’s legacy prevails with the hope that things will be different for someone else who is currently living in fear, imprisoned by coercive control. Luke and Ryan Hart become the lighthouse in this book, courageously sending out their warning signal about the danger of coercive control and why it must always be taken seriously.Fly along the mass driver's firing rail.

So goes the story of the Hart family, recounted by brothers Luke and Ryan, who survived to tell the world of their tragedy. Their message is that "gender violence is a product of the entitlement that comes from a misogynistic and patriarchal belief system". They rightly reject popular notions that mental illnessor acute emotional states such as sadness or anger provoke domestic abuse, or that the pain of divorce explains familicide. Luke and Ryan want us to know that such killers are not "normal guys" who simply "snapped". Abuse and violence are usually always a choice, regardless of life circumstances, stress levels or mental health issues such as depression. Jeremy Corbyn, however, stood against the tide of xenophobia, misogyny and hatred. He tweeted his condolences to the family involved and showed compassion in a time we needed it most.” We had just begun speaking at conferences and police training events when our drive to finally publish Operation Lighthouse presented itself. the infiltration of Balbir Pasha into street-talk, independent art projects, other advertising campaigns, etc. provided a " hook" for the target consumer to relate to and personalise HIV risk We’re straight in with the news that Hastings has authorised an official AC-12 inquiry into Operation Lighthouse, headed up by DCI Joanne Davidson. The team want to know why the murder of journalist Gail Vella remains unsolved, and if police corruption has something to do with it. In other words: is Davidson bent?

We discovered that our story had value, and that it was our moral duty to use our devastating story for good; to share it with the world.”

This piece ended up being somewhat lengthy and I have no doubt that those who like the book will offer criticism of my review for being longer than it possibly should be. To that I would say that my thoughts are a tad more complicated than “I didn’t like the book” and my points needed to be expanded upon. The best summation of this book is 61% of the way through the Kindle version. It states “the risk is that we reinforce easily digested simplifications in lieu of true representations. Domestic abuse is only understood correctly if we accept that many of our beliefs are conflicting, contradictory and unstable. We therefore risk only seeing the side of the story that is most visible”. In context, it is talking about abusers being capable of acting and hiding their “Hyde side”. How ironic that the book makes this clear observation and falls into the exact same trap. Twenty-five years of abuse from the brothers’ father led up to the double-murder. Ryan says: “The country rushed to sympathise with our father, making up ‘reasons’ for what he did in an attempt to excuse him. Immigrants and minorities in our society were even initially blamed for what was the deadliest mass shooting in the United Kingdom since the Cumbria shootings in June 2010.Provide general information on Property Tax Exemption Benefits for Disabled Veterans & Eligible Survivors Luke and Ryan Hart become the lighthouse in this book, courageously sending out their warning signal about the danger of coercive control and why it must always be taken seriously.' - Katie Ghose, Chief Executive Women's Aid What Luke and Ryan have achieved by writing Operation Lighthouse is to give their mother and sister a voice.' Following the murders, we began to see the true misogyny which plagues our society. If women’s lives become inconvenient then the collective moral framework is simply reworked to allow the men to remain ‘good men’, even in spite of unprovoked murder. This is setting a very low bar for men indeed; in fact, by that logic it’s hard to think of how a man could possibly ever score below par. Society frequently and preferentially blames weapons for murders, short skirts for rape, or alcohol for assault. Anything but the agency of the man responsible.

The CDC just released the most recent bulletin on drug overdose deaths in the U.S. reporting a nearly 30% increase above predicted numbers for the 12 months between December 2019 and December 2020. In three states, overdose deaths exceeded predictions by more than 50%. These devastating numbers are most likely driven by the impact of the pandemic as well as the huge influx of illegal fentanyl into the country.

This story deserves to be heard, but I don’t think that this book is the best way to hear it. I would suggest that anyone who wants to hear about what happened directs themselves to the below article written by the Guardian. It’s a decent length and gives the Harts the opportunity to be quoted. I would argue that the article is more powerful than this book even if I still find some of the statements contentious.
