But given that her track record it's not too good so far (endlessly campaigning against "evil paedos" and even publishing their names and addresses, yet happily printing suggesting photos of underage girls for readers to fantasise over) I hardly expect her to do so...
Firstly, you have a man, who portrays himself as a "hardman" in every role, being attacked by his wife.
Sedonly, you have the editor of a national paper which campagned against domestic violence being arrested for... domestic violence.
It doesn't get much better than that.
NB I agree Toadyborg, it will be interesting to see if she reaigns or if anything is made of this conflict or approaches anywhere else
she should resign imo fucking feminazi
But one can't help but be amused by her inevitable embarassment.
ashaming her would be funny thing is she werent human before this inciden due to her being the editor of the sun
Why not?
She edits a paper which campaigns against domestic violence, feigns outrage at the incidents. Now she stands accused of being an abuser. It is irrelevant to the severity, or that charges have been dropped.
Or don't principles matter anymore? Her paper seems to think that they should be applied to politicians.doctors.priests etc, so why shouldn't they apply to her?
Does the NHS refuse to support anyone else who does? Do we openinly condemn smokers?
Is smoking illegal now?
I never read The Sun so I don't know what they've said in their campaigns.
they're quite different
one is a personal abuse, one is abuse of an other person
No.
Do I think that it makes her campaign against other people hypocritical? Yes. She cannot call for others to be treated harshly if she will not accept the same treatment in her own case. IMHO.
It's actually a laudible campaign, which makes this case even more ironic. Domestic Violence is wrong, end of. Some letters printed have suggested that hanging is too good for perpetarors.
The Sun holds that view, or at least is happy to view voice to that view, so how can the person who ultimately decides what goes into the paper remain in post if she is guilty of the very act?
The point is the the NHS as a whole campaigns against smoking. The Sun as a whole campaigns against domestic violence (which I think we can all agree is a bad thing). It's a different thing if she is convicted of a violent crime, but if no one has pressed charges, we don't know what actually happened. Was she fighting back, was he threatening her, did she mean to hit him? etc. So whilst all we have to go on is rumour and speculation, I think it would be unfair to demand her resignation.
If she has not been convicted of a crime, it would be absurd for her to resign.
Probably his own sneaky way of getting back at her imo.
So it isn't domestic abuse to punch your partner in the mouth?
Is that law, or just in your head?
Given that she's in a position of power (some would argue of more power than anyone in the House of Commons bar the PM himself), and given that her and her newspaper are the first ones to demand resignations when a politician or other high ranking official is found to preach one thing and do another all together, it is only logical that she should go.
She should have gone long time ago anyway for being a racist, fascist, law breaking shit-stirring cunt, but that's another issue.
Now, if the person who define the relevant NHS policy is a smoker, then I think you have a point...
Look, it's quite clear what i meant.
Way to not answer the question.
I'm sure many blokes would like to think that giving the wife a "little slap" here and there isn't domestic abuse.........
Ok, I'll answer your question. I don't view things through a legal perspective so it's "in my head".
Drunken bums beating their wives is different from Kemp's wife slapping his ugly mug during an argument. As I said, he's a big boy, I'm sure he isn't living his life in fear of his wife. Get a bit of perspective!
Okay, so in your sexist head its okay for the wife to give her man a slap now and then.
:eek:
freethepeeps - look at it in perspective. If you can't draw the distinction between a wife/girlfriend slapping her husband/boyfriend during a heated argument and a man/woman beating their partner up then that's truly astonishing.
