winkie Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Maybe she's just admitted to having sexual relations with another man in the USA, told Saatchi in a public place where she 'knows' he would be too embarrassed to act. A lover spurned can be a very angry thing. He may have just shown incredible restraint. After all there's cutlery. A reaction can convey the existence of love. No reaction would not. (of course we know nothing about the underlying story between a couple beyond a couple of pics and universal condemnation for Saatchi) We can guess all sorts of things about this relationship or any other relationship.....we know very little, the only ones that do know are the people it is happening to, the only ones who can sort it is themselves.

Bloo Loo Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Agree with you....also from the behaviour it looks like that was not the first time it has happened, she looked like she was trying to pacify and calm him down knowing that he has a temper, a short fuse and could create a bigger scene a more embarrassing episode in a very public place......by his actions he is demonstrating that he has little respect for her and properly even less for himself. LOOKS LIKE, being the operative words here. Like Saville, the presnetation by the press makes it LOOK LIKE he was a serial peadophile. we dont know what the conversation was that preceded the incident, we dont see any pictures other than those sympathetic to the headline, and we are deliberately told what the story should be. We dont know if the pictures havent been "sexed up"....she is clearly not choking, but a hand appears to be on her throat. I suspect that the man accused of doing this stuff is indeed a ruthless ****, for he would not have achieved what he did without ever calling favours or other shennanigans.... but, any picture can paint a case if shown in the wrong context.

19 year mortgage 8itch Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Jesus wept. On top off the insurance for the warehouse fire where irreplacable items from the likes of Tracey Emin were stored. I wonder if trhe Candy's borrowed the money. Last month the art collector revealed that he enjoys having his famous wife ‘coveted’ by other men. Writing in his latest book Be The Worst You Can Be: Life’s Too Long For Patience And Virtue, he said: ‘Coveting is all everyone does, all the time, every day.‘It’s what drives the world economy, pushes people to make a go of their lives. ‘Who would want to be married to someone who nobody coveted?’ Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2125360/Nigella-Lawson-sells-luxury-Belgravia-flat-21m-profit.html#ixzz2WgmF2SA8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigantic Purple Slug Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I think what she's lacking here is advice. We need to bus in another 100000 armchair agony aunts who all think they know about the intimate details of the relationship to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Anyone seen the abuse Clegg is getting for - what i have just heard - seen perfectly reasonable comments about this case ? Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Hovis Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Anyone seen the abuse Clegg is getting for - what i have just heard - seen perfectly reasonable comments about this case ? Ridiculous. Appearing on his Call Clegg radio phone-in, Mr Clegg was asked if he would have intervened if he had been sat at the next table. He replied: 'I just don't know. There was this one photograph. I don't know whether that was just a fleeting thing.' He later added: 'I don't know whether that was a fleeting moment.' Which is him saying he didn't know from a photo what actually happened. As this quote is prefaced with: Charles Saatchi repeatedly grabbed wife Nigella Lawson by the neckMr Clegg seemed not to know that police had issued a caution over the assault It sounds like he is downplaying it but I can't see that he is, he's just saying he doesn't know so isn't rushing to condemn. Fair enough. His later statement when he was filled in on what had happened is also fair enough IMO, I don't see it as a climb down as he wasn't downplaying domestic violence in the first place; this was not Sean Connery saying some women need a slap. In a statement issued this afternoon, Mr Clegg insisted: 'I completely condemn all forms of domestic violence.'As I said on the radio, my instinct would always be to try and protect the weaker person, to try and protect the person who otherwise would be hurt. 'But I was asked a very specific question about how I would have reacted to a specific incident which I did not see. 'I said I did not know how I would have reacted to that specific incident because I do not know what happened. 'The point I was making is that I don’t know what other people in the restaurant saw and I don’t want to make a judgement on their reaction.' The only reason there is "fury" is because people want to have a go so don't bother reading the facts. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2345208/Fury-Nick-Clegg-describes-Nigella-assault-fleeting-thing-Deputy-PM-forced-issue-statement-condemning-violence.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swissy_fit Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Starting with the premise that Clegg is, overall, a complete tw*t with no moral fibre, in this case he, IMO, is only a bit of a tw*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobloblob Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Great review of Charles Saatchi's book on Amazon Amazon I attempted to read this book in the Charles Saatchi approved style - by holding it without actually gripping it - but I kept dropping the damn thing.

thecrashingisles Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Great review of Charles Saatchi's book on Amazon Amazon A friend suggested that it was impossible to hold something without gripping it but I assured him, and made sure to repeatedly emphasise my point, that it must be possible as the author himself had been very clear on this method of holding in an official statement.

thecrashingisles Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yesterday, two of the country's top lawyers met for a secret lunch at the central London restaurant where Charles Saatchi grabbed the throat of his wife. Raymond Tooth, Saatchi's lawyer, and Baroness Fiona Shackleton, Miss Lawson's lawyer, were at Scott's restaurant in Mayfair, the same restaurant where Mr Saatchi was pictured arguing with his wife. The legal experts, considered the best in the country by some, hugged and kissed as they greeted each other on Mount Street. Tooth appeared to present Shackleton, dressed in a colourful floral outfit, with a small gift before they went inside the eatery. It is not known what the meeting was about. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2347086/Nigella-Lawsons-throat-attack-ordeal-Charles-Saatchi-momentary-tiff.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
