Yep - that was your reaction to a woman who has had her sex-life paraded all over every tabloid newspaper in Scotland, been cross-examined by her (alleged) former lover in court, lost her boyfriend, her career and had to flee the country that she made home because of the humiliation.
Sheridan took on this case because he considered that a story that alleged he had had an affair harmed his reputation. He was so concerned to preserve this reputation as a faithful husband and father to be that against the advice of friends and comrades that had worked with him for close to 30 years he sued the NoTW. Now - true or not - its not v. nice to see the details of your initimate relations paraded through the tabloid press in lurid detail, but that is exactly what has happened to Katrine.
Why not diddums for Tommy?
The NoTW story was exactly that - a story - some would believe it, most would be eating their chips from it the next day. Katrine however has been questioned in person under oath by her alleged former lover about details of her marriage, her sex life and her sexual relationships in open court with the tabloids printing every lurid detail. Its disgusting and its abusive.
...and now she's going through it all again.
You've obviously read nothing of these posts. My overriding concern was for the future and status of the left in Scotland and how the murdoch press had been consistently attacking it over the years with no effective counter-attack from the Scots (or the left in other parts of the UK).
The original case was a perfect tool to make an effective stand - the winning of the notw case was a stunning victory that was quickly pissed away by fools.
I voiced my outrage that, instead of coming together and acting as a unit in this, petty internecine squabbles took over and they destroyed their own party. They're a joke now.
I posted about how the whole thing had made me decide that voting for them, as I'd done in the past, was now pointless as they would have almost no public support. I shifted my preference to the SNP.
Then, as now, the discussion was forced around to Trolle and how she was the most honourable and worst damaged person in the whole thing. That had nothing at all to do with my posts. Others with an agenda did not want to discuss the internal fracture of the party involved, preferring only to argue about who's better and who's worse.
They're all worse, as I've said. Because they are a bunch of pathetic back-stabbing losers who'd sell each other, tape each other, sneak to the papers about each other.
They, and their supporters (currently here calling me scum), have shown themselves to be entirely unworthy of political consideration.
Hope that's plain enough.
If you want to discuss it on an adult level, I'm happy to have my point of view challenged and to contend with you.
