Furthermore, if he had made such a threat in America Michael could have sued his a*se off. People on here don't seem to make any allowances for the perceptions and sensibilities of other cultures. What may be "tongue in cheek" to us Brits, is a lawsuit in other countries.

Yes. I can see where you are coming from, but we are not in America, and the Sunday Sun is a regional paper. I doubt many would take it that seriously up North. Tim Healy saying he would "sort" someone out if they did not leave his wife alone is hardly a threat, he is just stating how he feels. The paper does appear to be more than a little tongue in cheek about it.
As to her humiliating her family, well that is for them to decide, they do know her best after all.
