On the issue of violence against women:
NO REALLY -- I'M VERY SORRY: Vince Hogg, 45, and Beverley Burns, 42, "regularly had furious rows," a court in Fife, Scotland, heard. Their latest was no different: Hogg pulled Burns's hair and threw her against a wall. "He was angry about the fact a shower was leaking and caused a carpet to get wet," the prosecutor said. Hogg pled guilty and got probation rather than jail. But there have been "serious consequences for his line of work," prosecutor Joanna Nicholson told the court. Hogg has worked for the National Health Service for 27 years, she said, and was "heavily involved" in the Zero Tolerance Campaign Against Domestic Violence. He was recently promoted to anger management counselor, but that promotion was rescinded after his arrest. In the meantime, he was suspended with full pay, and will return to work at NHS. (Glasgow Daily Record) ...Remember kids, loopholes in "Zero Tolerance" are only for those who make the rules.
