“He's a textbook chauvinist, misogynist and coward, is what I think. I mean come on, he admitted to punching Rula Lenska but said she wasn't "a beaten wife". The man is an idiot. I use the term "man" loosely.”

“no excuse for any man to hit a woman. Mrs Wivens has a proper sharp tongue on her and a sure aim with a rolling pin or a saucepan or a plate that I've occasionally been subjected to in our nearly thirty years of marriage but I've never laid a finger on her for it no matter what she's said or done. Stormed off up to the pub or Con Club or just gone for a walk, but punching a woman? that's the act of a weasel and a coward.”

“You ask what I think, I think he's a c**t.”

“To true stick Thatcher in front of any man etc. etc. No brainer there then.............”

“Oh Mr Wivens violence is violence and you should never have had to go out of the way. Plates being thrown, saucepans contacting the head!!!! If it happens again call 999 and get the bail money ready if you are daft enough to want to live with someone so aggressive.
We all know what Dennis Waterman's views on women are and it was well documented at the time that he was a pig to her. Its just that todays press weren't born at the time!
Apparently, more recently women are accepting violence as part of a relationship because of rap music. Eminem and Rihanna telling him she loves it when it burns? What about our Stokie anthem of Delilha? Blimey, sex with another bloke is cause for a knife in the stomach! Justifiable that! Or what about Tracy thingy who had a row with her bloke and was so traumatised that she had the wit to hide the weapon in the petrol tank? Who carries a knife on a date!!!!! Hello dear heart, guess what we are going bear hunting!!
Can we just say that if she was anything like my mum an expensive, pride and joy, figurine would be aiming towards his head? But, pity for us, we had to duck pretty fast. Its okay, I'm taking up the offer of therapy!!!”

“don't be silly, I'm not going to drop my Mrs of 28 years in the mire just cos she's got one on her. Besides I bat them out of the way with a tea tray.”

“nah, but it is not difficult to become very angry, but thats not a legit reason to hit anyone.”

“If I ever meet him I'll punch him. My missus in years gone by has wound me up to breaking point, but I would never ever do that. Waterman's obviously more of an actor than a hardman...”
