[Football] Joey Barton

[Happy Exile]

Firstly, if in the age of AI female pundits were given a male body and voice I wonder if the views would be singling them out more than men.

Sadly, and predictably, the prejudice is entirely against women and nothing to do with expertise

‘Get back into the kitchen’: what happened when Jill Scott and Gary Neville swapped social media accounts

The two former England internationals swapped X accounts for five days without telling anyone. The results were predictable

Yeah. That result comes and no surprise. But folk still won't accept their bias.

Seems light.
Is wife beating no biggie again?

It seems so. Kicking a woman in the head doesn't seem to be worthy of a prison sentence nowadays.

It would appear that she decided not to support the prosecution, after initially making a statement giving a full account. That may have been a factor in sentencing.

Sadly, that's pretty common for victims of domestic violence, largely due to the offender behaviour eroding every last shred of confidence or independence they have. The average high risk victim (ie at risk of serious harm or murder) lives with it for two and a half years before getting help*. Statistically, two women every week are killed by a partner or ex partner in England & Wales. EVERY WEEK.

Two tier.
If he wasn't so left wing and woke he'd get time

 

[Easy 10]

Doesn't seem like the type at all, does he.
I expect she probably spoke about football in front of him.

What he did to a man was far worse, and he didn’t get jailed for that either. The law appears consistent at least! (But not in a good way)

I don’t understand why this women, who has several kids with him, got together with him in first place. He has lots of publicised previous, from before they met surely?

Already covered on post 637. Another one victim blaming.

Didn’t intend to come across that way (and hadn’t seen the earlier post).

Why are you saying this, and about whom?

Nonsense.
Two things are possible at the same time:
1 Joey Barton’s wealth likely made him a more attractive proposition to his wife. (guessing it wasn’t his charm)
2 Joey Barton being violent towards her is totally unacceptable

Men who are abusive are quite often charming. I know from experience.

Interesting that the DPP were determined to see this through and successfully did, without the victim being on their side. Whilst they threw in the towel with the Greenwood case despite damning evidence.

That can also be true.
And I’m sorry to hear that.

The point I was trying to make when you accused me of “victim blaming” was that Barton has always been a violent thug therefore it cannot have been a surprise to her when he turned out to be in fact a violent thug.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I’d assumed he was broke, which is why he’s on the right wing grift gravy train.

Either way, what happened to her was his fault and his alone.
