I don't understand why every single detail of this trial is being made public knowledge. I don't see how it's in the public interest to report so much on this trial - it's just gossip. Whether or not that stuff is true, it's now a part of Nigella Lawson's public profile and she won't be able to shake it off. The whole thing seems like an excuse to get as much dirt on Lawson and Saatchi and I'm amazed it's allowed.

I suppose in theory all and any trials are in the public interest, because none should be covered up unless very specific circumstances are in place.

The reverse is I suppose the super injuctions, where adulterous, perverts get protection. As their children shouldn't find out about their sexually degenerate, faithless ways.

And the press print what people want to read or atleast most of them.

So yes to big boobed, celeb chef stuffs dope in kids gobs.

No to Bayer demanding right to murder bees on mass.

If it is true shes a disgrace

But the point is that none of us know if it's true or not. It could very plausibly just be a lie to further discredit Lawson, but just publishing that accusation means people assume it's probably true.

If it was some woman living on a council estate giving her kids weed there'd be uproar

If it is true shes a disgrace

Lofty lots of people on and off council estates give their kids dope.

A spliff a day helps you rest, rest and man how does the rest of this go.

Yes obviously

And people like Lawson should get just as much criticism as anyone else

If its true

Quite so Nigella wife of a billionare if she is buying her kids fags, especially gets her secretary to do it via duty free.

Bit improbable.

Shall we wait until we find that out before we discuss just how awful a human being she might be?

No lets burn her house first

then discuss how awful she is

even if she didnt give her kids drugs, she probably did something equally bad

just because Osama Bin Laden wasnt a paedophile apparently, doesn't stop him being a terrorist mastermind

or benefits fraudster

Presumably the reason Saatchi proceeded with the prosecution is to vindicate himself by putting Nigella on trial.

This year is truly Nigella's annus horribilis.

And yes, I said annus. With a double 'n'.

Whereas her anus, on the other hand, is absolutely lovely I'm sure

I read that and was genuinely stunned.

If only why were they wasting time talking to perverts, when there were far mistreated groups at the time.

And no apology, Labor really needs to clear it's front bench if it's, ever, ever going to win again.

I'm starting to accept the fact that somehow the Tories are going to stay in power for a long time. How can Labour be so shit that they look crap compared to the Tories while the Tories are going around smashing everything up?

I don't get it.

The Daily Mail phones your office to call you a peadopologist.

And you don't rush out and express regret in a gushing interview with a friendlier paper.

It's the kind of crass incompetence you expect from a UKIP counsellor having a jolly. Not supposedly a former government minister.

I think if Scotland gets independence its time for a new party to replace Labor.

Ha ha. Lofty's right tho, there's a class disparity about drugs. Toffs usually get off lightly and aren't treated like scum by their own class, the ruling class, but when council estate types do it, they are evil scum.

I expect Nigella will be protected from prosecution by her lofty connections but I sense her TV career is over, which is a great shame, she was very classy with a great sense of humour, and who wouldn't give her one? What a lot of damage one chance photo can do. Terrible big brotherish age we live in.
