hard

so eastenders hard man gets a slap from the missus and everyone gets to have a laugh at his expense.
but to ross kemp's credit he didn't go and seek medical help for his fat lip, he went off to work.
meanwhile rebekah wade, editor (or head hitter - geddit... oh i kill me sometimes) stewed for several hours in a police cell. did she deserve it? yes, but not for hitting kemp but for all the stuff she has printed in her newspaper.
one of the recent campaigns being about domestic violence.

one of the really annoying things about the press is its ability to pry into the private lives of people. yet wade et al always seem to be able to get away with it and we know nothing about them.
they make and break celebrities (no big deal there really) but they also have a large impact on the morals of the country - yet they can be off slapping their husbands, doing drugs, having extra marital affairs (and that’s just the staff of the spectator) and who knows what else. yet they get to pontificate to rest of us.

hopefully wade's short time in the cells, and several days as a hounded celeb will help her realise what an impact it can have.

do i think it will make a difference?
no i don't.
