This has really got my goat / throat.

And so it begins.  The Daily Fail has published an article saying how calling the attack on Nigella Lawson ‘domestic violence’ demeans people who are suffering from real domestic violence.

This is marvellous news.  Since grabbing by the throat and twisting someone’s nose isn’t violence, I know what I’m going to be doing this weekend, and if anyone complains, I'll explain that its demeaning of them to call it violence as I've not murdered them.

Ode to the Victim Blaming Daily Mail

Thank god for the Daily Mail!

Without them I would never know
That there’s a sliding scale
And that some domestic violence
Is OK now just so long
As it’s not as bad as other types
That we know still go on.
 

Thank god that we’ve cleared that up!

Without it I would still have thought
That grabbing by the throat
Was in fact domestic violence
But I now know if I’m cross
I can do it to my husband
And all with no morals lost!
 

Thank god for the Daily Fail!

Without them I would never know
That there’s a sliding scale
Of criminality so long as
Something is much worse
So since you’ve not been murdered
Don’t report I’ve nicked your purse.

 

Fuckers.

Strange way to emphasise a point Saatchi.

I don't often do sleb or topical stuff, but frankly after seeing the photos of Saatchi abusing (for that is what it was) his wife in public, then reading his statement that he grabbed her by the throat to emphasise a point, I wondered how stupid he thinks people actually are.

Then I remembered about victim blaming and how some folk will think she deserved it, or wound him up, or, or, or....

Ode to Saatchi the Domestic Abuser

Saatchi oh Saatchi
you vile little fella
I watch as you blame
that attack on Nigella.
There's never a reason
to grab by the throat
you nasty abuser
you vile little scroat.

Dear god you are lucky
that in our society
violence on women
can't bring notoriety
dammit its always
the victim who's blamed
though you're the aggressor
its her who'll be shamed.

Saatchi oh Saatchi
I see your reliance
to control your woman
you resort to violence.
You controlling arsehole
you nasty old loser
we know what's inside you,
you violent abuser.
