    I think it probably is.

    The Cops are following up the complaint. This is as good as it gets without Veitch reaching an epiphany and it seems clear he hasn't.

    Hey Shep, ( I like how your name suggests one may speak casually)I really do think that for anyone to behave in the manner for which we are being informed, is, quite ignorant of the effect their actions have.So I don't expect that Veitch would have imagined that his compensation was going to be considered wrong because it seemed to sort his problem out when he negotiated it.I don't think he thought of his counter offers as anything but just what lawyers do.Let's face it ,lawyers do try to" get the best deal", or" make the problem go away" and most of the time it's big money if you earn lots which, seems to be the case with both of these people so negotiations were probably an automatic action. Seldom do we see people give themselves up suggesting they have had an epiphany but because of public pressure Veitch has had to face his demons on the stage.A form of restorative justice in itself. I do imagine he is learning lessons as we write. If he learns never to do this again that in my eyes is a good thing. Russell was right over at the trainwreck, weird spell!

    Dunne-Powell initially sought $127,000 in October last year, then upped that to $150,000 after Veitch twice went back with lower offers;

    Veitch also agreed to pay $5000 to a women's anti-violence group;

    This ,from the heralds unnamed sauce.

    "From each according to his abilities. To each according to his needs." Karl Marx had an idea:)

    George himself was hinting furiously in that direction yesterday. I have no idea if his claim regarding the victim is true or not. My italics below.

    "There are other names than compensation claim for such demands, but no one so far has bothered to look into that."

    Tony could have just said no to compensation if he had preferred to take ownership of this whole sorry saga and pop on in to the police station.He wasn't forced to do anything.I think the police would consider it as an effort to recompense.This is also a consideration from a Judge.

    Security looks pretty tight though.
    They've obviously heard about all this.

    And that flag is certainly not hoist by its own petar... whoops wrong thread;)
