    Perhaps all public figures should be certified and risk rated so that the press know when they can report news on individuals and when it cannot.

    My god you are some sort of idiot.

    The press knew she had issues, the fact they continued to report on it the way they did is the bigger issue

    And I am perfectly aware what the law states on domestic violence, she was more than likely guilty, but from what I can gather she has inflicted serious injuries on herself on the evening in question, so again, it was fairly obvious that she had serious mental health issues.
    If that were the case, she ought to have been sectioned for her own good. That's not down to the press.

    And I would repeat that if that was the case, it was up to the authorities and her family to protect her from herself.

    She worked on a show that exploited stupid, vain, young people by placing them under the microscope for public entertainment. Some couldn't cope and killed themselves. They'd committed no crimes and received no protection. But she, as someone who was complicit in this shít should have been treated more carefully because she was famous? Bóllocks.

    Yes, can't see how that might be exploited.

    I hate it when this sort of thing happens. It forces me to confront aspects of popular culture I've spent years deliberately avoiding.

    I'd never heard of her before the weekend. Still not really sure who she is or, more importantly, what she has done.

    He's fine. He's ignoring his shelter completely and standing out in the wind and rain grazing happily. My new friends on horsey fora (where I tend to hang out these days, of course) tell me that this is quite normal for rugged UK natives such as Barney.

    He's a tough, manly, British horse, who's so hard he probably doesn't even notice when it's raining.

    Not like theses effeminate, poncey, foreign horses who need the central heating on at a constant 30 degrees.

    I knew of her many years ago of being the presenter of the FASH FC games on Bravo.
