Fact: Said Sun journo had run a campaign in paper against domestic violence

Another problem is that wives/girlfriends hitting blokes is still seen as something of a joke in society - I remember an Int Corps mate of mine who was regularly given a good shoeing by his very petite wife – very funny, until he ended up in hospital
Changing the subject slightly, at least Lewis Collins was a TA Para which is more than can be said for 'Grunt' - unless anyone knows better?
