Sofie, in many cases the police won't pursue an offence unless a complaint is made
Matthew, in many cases the police do what they like(personal receiving end bugbear ).This particular one was domestic violence requiring the defence to show glowing references. The police were the ones to charge Veitch.Why not watch the rest of the MSM and watch Dame Susan complain there?They could follow it up.They should keep public order, dammit!

just thinking."

It doesn't marry well with having a real job.
Yes it can. If you wish to place your preference with your Artistic talent over what you consider your "real job", can I suggest (via personal experience) get a job that allows creativity or get a job that might allow the brain to wonder, but not perhaps the body.Only writing with personal issues at hand, but if I want to paint, I'll find time and jobby work in between gives me time to hone my idea.I think there is that bliss (in many fields) when you are dancing to your own tune because I don't see any work as failure, just not worth finishing,If your doing it right your dancing, and you know if your dancing..

And what of golliwogs,
They too are collectable nowadays (sorry Emma, I'm old).Saw a wee lad with one at the pub once,(the golliwog.) His father said a gran had given it and he felt well aware of it's connotation and squirmed more so when the golliwog ventured out in public. His comment of "but what are you gonna do? It came from the mother in law" and I guessed she must of had one of "those" stares.:)I also remembered I had a collection of Little black Sambo and others books, which I collected because they were evidence of another era.
