And predictably we're exposed to more blubbing from poor Tony - maybe this is the stuff he was complaining was "untrue" (but which was not in the public domain when he said that):

"I don't care what anyone says about me but... to have somebody out there who could say I would attack... I've only had three girlfriends in my life, and my first one was the love of my life early on in Australia, my university girlfriend. This letter contained details that I had beaten her up and had assaulted my other girlfriend as well. And that to the day is the thing way beyond even this that is the most hurtful thing out of all this."
Remember, everything before the "but" is bullshit. Interestingly, the story notes that the original journalist "accused Veitch supporters of running a smear campaign to discredit Dunne-Powell". He really does care about his "reputation".
Kan is eloquent about the wave of engineered sympathy for the bloke.
Why can't these people bring themselves to condemn an act of violence against a woman lying on the floor?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Kracklite, sounds like a hedonist?

Suze, the only problem I have with "arse" is that I now involuntarily hear Paul Henry over-enunciating the "r" as if he came from
Southland or Samoa rather than Diane Foreman's boudoir. Shudder. -
David, please do post some stories from the pub when you get a moment. Story does a great job of connecting ideas with action.
However, the type of conversation you get in some forums like Your Views bears out what Kracklite said:
sounds attached as labels to various phenomena without any actual comprehension of the concepts and signification.
Or in pub talk, people talking shit.

Valets, surely.

Thanks, I never realised OTOH had a paired expression. And I read Pournelle and Niven, although it was ages ago.

He's already got Rick Ellis if he needs a patsy.
I'd sure be staying well clear of the Minister's office, those stairs or the lobby for that matter. Back at Cluedo again.
