Nigella does have a following amongst males "of a certain age", many of whom frequent internet fora such as PH.

I could well imagine a whole phalanx of angry PHers rushing en masse to the defence of this "fair damsel in distress" crying "Hands off our Nigella".

I would be in that phalanx.

Police investigating.

'Held her neck' must be the new 'grabbed her throat'.

It's a slap or a grab outdoors, but indoors, who knows?

Obviously Saatchi has made himself look a complete pig but we simply don't know what, if anything else, may have taken place elsewhere. We can't "assume the worst".

Why not? It would seem a reasonable assumption that most people would be more restrained in their behaviour in a public place than at home.

Pretty horrific domestic abuse / murder here:

Would be interested in WeirdNeville's take on the policing that firstly failed to prevent it (bad), but secondly punished the offenders (good). Best discussed in the other thread though.

Yes, I hate them all except gary rhodes and delia and rusty lee. Aspirational bullst the lot of it but her trick of sexualising household chores is particularly benale

Benale? Is it a new word? Does it mean very lovely?

[Ayahuasca]

I hope she gets a decent settlement. I mean enough to keep me in the manner I deserve.

[Ayahuasca]

Crumbles!

Her agency is probably already talking to the Crystal Methodist about putting together a home chemistry show for Watch TV.

Baking Bad?

Why are all the details being thrashed out in public rather than behind closed doors?

No libel in a courtroom.

Saatchi released the email that made the coke stuff public. He is manipulating information to improve his image.

He probably doesn't, but it makes him look a right idiot, he is after all PM of this country, not a dim celeb on facebook.

It's well-known you don't make comment while a court case is ongoing.

Hasn't stopped any of us, and he was not commenting on the court case anyway. Are you saying the BBC should stop showing her TV shows until after the court case in case anyone sees them?

I suspect someone has made some calls in order to make her life as awkward as possible ...

They don't like you to use it for nipping in and out frequently and she's also been working here on an ABC programme without a work Visa. It may be that she was refused entry for that rather than the drug confession.

That reminds me of the scene in the Ginger Baker film where someone he employed for his Polo team/operation was having life made difficult by someone playing technicalities on some immigration issue.

I believe they DO like it when you nip in and out. Proves you are unlikely to stay, which is what they are concerned about.

I nip in and out using my ESTA all the time for work meetings and they are fine about it.
