Sorry but where have I put the rope out for him? I said several times that it is alleged and that he hasn't been found guilty of anything. My comment was over the suggestion that it (ie domestic absue) was nobody's business but his and her's. I would disagree strongly with that idea. Obviously it is also the Court's business and if it was indeed domestic abuse, which has yet to be proved in court, then it is something that society as a whole should frown upon. The days of it being ok to slap your wife about as long as it is behind closed doors are surely long gone? That is all I am saying. Struggling to see why you have an issue with that?
