John Keyes vs Marian Keyes?

By shonajb

The question is – am I more interested in reading about NZ politics or indulging in chick lit read? The answer is Marian of course.

Am total flake. Accept it’s time for a change despite Labour lean – no interest in the endless dissection of it all. Am bored already.

Not that am actually a superficial celebrity watcher either. However, the back-breaking-Veitch affair has been an interesting talking point at work. Generally agreed that $100,000 is not worth a broken back and a nervous breakdown, especially if you have a high-paid job. So why didn’t she go to the police?

Strange link here – Marian Keyes latest “This Charming Man” is about a politician who abuses women. Yes he gets his come upperance from the women, but I did feel that the weakest part was that they didn’t go to the police.

Guess I don’t know what it’s like to be an abused woman – thankfully! But it’s an appalling message that a high-profile presenter who was going through a rough patch should violently abuse a woman and continue his TV career. Not good enough!
