‘I always know where my keys are’: UK poll backs Saoirse Ronan’s words on women’s safety

Rarely can 10 words dropped into a TV chatshow have caused such a powerful ripple as those by the Blitz actor Saoirse Ronan on The Graham Norton Show.

As fellow actors Paul Mescal, Eddie Redmayne, Denzel Washington and host Norton hooted with laughter over whether a mobile phone could be used as a weapon in self-defence, Ronan instantly punctured the merriment with the simple phrase: “That’s what girls have to think about all the time.”
