You're so desperately eager to point out what you think was a spelling mistake, you're completely unable to see that I was taking the piss.

Exactly - and I wonder how many times it has happened to a partner of Daley's behind closed doors.

Don't you see that the fact he acted like that on public TV makes you wonder what he gets up to behind closed doors. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he has previous 'just a domestic' black marks against him.

And what he did speaks directly to that culture of violence.

Domestic violence is a progressive thing. It rarely turns into a nightmare over night.

Someone mentioned the thing with the make up. That was very telling. An attempt to engage in controlling behaviour, and specifically controlling what she displayed of herself. This is one of the classic signs that women (and men, but mainly women) are warned to look out for in a new relationship. And one of the signs to look out for if you are worried about someone else in a potentially abusive relationship.

Clever you!

Bloody hell, just because someone isn't employed doesn't mean they don't hold the knowledge..are you kidding me.

If you've just left Uni and never actually worked as a Lawyer... you're not a Lawyer.

Interestingly, in an article in the Metro (taken i think from the Daily Hatemail) Daley claimed that he would never be violent towards a woman because he himself had been sexually and physically abused as a youngster.

Yet the profiles of abusers commonly include personal experience of abuse as children.

So, he is unable to trust women, and has anger problems (for which he is apparently receiving counselling) borne of childhood abuse.

The pieces are all there.

If the law students on here don't think that consent is a defence to common assault (a pretty basic concept), you do wonder about the quality of their legal education. Lol! :joker:

Would be nonsense. Unless Hazel is pressing for it, which would be her right, the matter should be dropped.

I thought most law students worked in legal practices as interns these days?

Making the tea doesn't make you a lawyer either. :joker:

Who cares about the label, they have the knowledge they know MORE THAN YOU. Accept it and move on because it can't be debated.

Well....I thought we'd all be friends after BB finished,Seems not.lol

Yeah...no. That's not what interns are for these days. These days interns do real actual work, for free. So much so that there is some unease in the higher education sector about what amounts to a form of indentured servitude, since getting onto the ladder in any way requires that someone has been an intern and got that experience. They're over a barrel. And (some of) the companies that take them on in that capacity get a lot of work for free.

Anyway, inter-member slanging matches aside (:D), I think we can fairly safely conclude that - despite Daley's tweet - it is unlikely charges will be brought against him.

He would be able to use "consent" as a defence - and there is video evidence to back this up.... which is a rarity!

I'm not questioning that someone with the ability to complete a Law Degree is far more intellectually superior than I will ever be. How arrogant of you to make such an assumption, by the way.

I'm merely making the point that until you have done actual paid work. You're just someone with a degree.

Its like a Soldier who has just finished basic training thinking they're Rambo. Until they've done a tour of duty, they know feck all.

Bet they know the rules and regulations though. And I bet their knowledge of procedure is bang up to date.

That's where the term 'barrack room lawyer' came from.

An army rookie who knows all the rules and regulations, but bugger all about the real world application of them!

Aye, I'm familiar with the term :p


Since we're flinging around our credentials, I'm a military historian *grins*

I have to disagree with the first paragraph as having a degree, of any kind, does not necessarily prove someone is intellectually superior.

Many people who don't have a degree are capable to gaining one - but haven't for whatever reason - money and circumstance being a major factor.

In particular, those lucky enough to have benefited from a private education have very much been given a helping hand - doesn't make them more intelligent.

True dat.

No you WERE stating that people with a degree haven't a clue so shouldn't start acting like staples of knowledge. And calling me names on here says more about you than me:xyxwave:

Wait until CBB starts! :joker:

To get to "uni" these days means very little. Some degrees are about the equivalent of a low grade A-level from a couple of decades, or so, back.

What a baseless statement.
