Pakistani cricketer who beat his wife with his bat, forced her to drink bleach and called her friends 'English slag girls' is SPARED jail after a judge says his victim is 'an intelligent woman and not vulnerable' |

I'm surprised he didn't call him the real victim. He was just enriching her with his culture after all. We should all be more tolerant.

So intelligence equals being not vulnerable? That scientist Stephen Hawkings was abused wasn't he? So it's his fault for being intelligent then.

Or alternatively according to the judge if you push Hawkings down the stairs you won't get in trouble.

The UKs negotiating position on Brexit is a fantasy The UKs negotiating position seeks a deep and special partnership with the EU after Brexit. It hopes the partnership will include protected rights of EU citizens living in Britain and UK citizens living in EU member states, a soft border in Northern Ireland, free trade in goods with minimal customs barriers, the most ambitious international services trade agreement outside the EU, and security and policing co-operation. Although it wants control over its border, immigration, the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice and money, both sides have a mutual interest in forging such a partnership, Britain insists, since the no deal alternative would be worse for all. The EU 27 position, outlined in the the blocs negotiating guidance, also seeks guarantees for citizens, and imaginative solutions for the Northern Ireland question, but thereafter takes the status quo as its starting point. Since it is happy with Britain as an EU member state, it seeks compensation from the UK for changes that damage other member states existing rights. Where Britain wants exemption from common rules such as free movement of people, there will be a price for the privilege, the EU insists. The two opening negotiating positions are incompatible. Britain starts from a fantasy in which the UK is happily already outside the EU and seeking a better relationship, while the EU 27s position is grounded in reality. Britain will have to budge. In any case, while there was no truth in Theresa Mays boast in January that no deal is better than a bad deal, the sentiment is closer to reality for the EU 27 than it is for the UK. So, to get an agreement, which Britain needs, it must make concessions. www.ft.com |
