McCartney's position
Mill's position (as defined by the judge this time)
He clearly agreed more with the former and frankly I can see why... Although I will say this has clearly been an experience that has left some pretty deep psychological scars, especially for Heather Mills. I think some time far, far away from the public eye will hopefully help.
The chance of Heather Mills voluntarily stepping away from the limelight is less likely that Nick Griffin announcing his conversion to Islam
She has i think proved that she is nothing more than a gold digger ...to ask for a hundred and twenty five million quid of someone elses money cannot be anything else.
I'm fine fiend thankyou.
Given the short duration of the marriage the usual 50/50 split doesn't count, but that doesn't mean she should walk away with nothing.
It's odd how everyone is getting their panties in a wad about Mills getting £24m. It's only 1/16th of his £400m wealth, I'm sure he'll survive somehow.
As i said before, rich-people problems, certainly of this calibre, factor seriously-low-to-non-existent on the list of things to give a fuck about. The real argument was about a settlement figure - more precisely the specific number, not the actual money. When you're arguing over the obscene amounts of money these people have it doesn't make any tangible difference whether you end up with £24m or £240m. She was always going to walk away (a twat who's) disgustingly rich.
And before any one says it, i think he's a bell-end as well.
EDIT: And when HM comes out with stupid shit like in KHSS's quote above, it really makes me think a punch in the face might have been a more suitable settlement for her.
No it wasn't her money ...don't you legal people have any morals!
It's not about the fact that she got money off him, it's the fact that she's complaining that 24 million quid, somehow isn't enough money.
Which makes her a greedy bitch.
Exactly, that quote "my daughter has to travel b-class while her father travels a-class", most children are lucky they even get to travel on a plane ya greedy wee cunt.
I think we need to set up a charity appeal for her and her kid. I mean, that's just not good enough. Society needs to take a long hard look at itself when 4-year-old kids are only travelling B-Class.
Have you ever flown Ryanair :yeees:
Yes, and come to think of it I did feel like my human rights were being infringed upon
Whereas he only offering 24m from a pot of 300 makes him...?
He should have shoved her over a cliff.
All completely irrelevant Mr Roll.
When you marry you make certain promises, "all that I am.. all that I have" etc.
From the moment they married it was technically also her money.
Also, when branding someone as "greedy" for wanting more than £24m, it matters a great deal how much the other party ends up with. It seems here that people are judging the outcome of a legal case on the basis of which person they like best.
lady mucca is taking the good sir paul for a ride!!
men get battered in divorce, its fact, the man doesnt deserve what happened to him.
Remind me again, who filed for divorce?
Peoople are judging this based on the fact that they don't like Mills. How good or bad a person she is is completely irrelevant. The judge really describes her as a 'Walter Mitty' character (people always forget to quote the paragraphs where he was nice about her), but that is irrelevant too.
He married her and fathered her child. He should pay for his former wife's upkeep and his child's upkeep. If she was marrying him for his money then that's his own lookout.
£35,000 per year for a child of a Beatle really isn't that much at all. I somehow doubt that Stella and his other children lived on £35,000 a year, so why should Beatrice?
I really don't think that an offer of 1/16th of his wealth is particularly onerous. I also don't think she was particularly wrong in asking for what she believed to be 1/8th of his wealth- bear in mind her demand for £125m was based on estimated wealth of £800m.
People are arguing about the figures when they should be arguing about the percentages. If anything, McCartney has kept a greater proportion of his wealth than he would have if he was a binman. Nobody can say he's been hard done to, £24m to him is loose change. He'll earn that in a few months when he sells his back catalogue on iTunes.
Out of interest, why doesn't he "deserve what happened to him"? Because Heather Mills is perceived by the media to be a moneygrabber? Why is that relevant?
And, even more to the point, are you sayinhg he should he get out of paying for his child's upkeep because of who the mother is?
I'll ask again: who filed for divorce?
Certainly who I dislike the least (and it was hard choice whether Macca is the bigger cunt or his ex)
So?
He wanted to grab as much money for himself too... only difference is who ended up with over £250m.
I know what your saying MOK ...i just can't stand either of them. Then to realy annoy me ...the old git is dumb enough to be taken in by a blow job nearly costing him HIS ....HIS ....fortune. HIS ...cos thats how my mind works.
And this bit ....'When you marry you make certain promises, "all that I am.. all that I have" etc'.
...doesn't realy come into it when 'through sickness and in health blah blah ...until death us do part' ....has all just been chucked out the window.
Besides, when you factor in the massive influence of file-sharing, (or theft, as I prefer to call it) there's even less money in it.
If you need cheering up, though, the judgment of this case is absolutely hilarious.
Rolly, you'll be buying Hello! and talking about Sienna Miller's haircut next :thumb:
