Yes ive heard the comment - I wouldn't be commenting otherwise would I?
If someone at their place of work threatened to slap your wife, or your mum ' in a light hearted manner' would you genuinely be ok with it?
I know I wouldn't.
It's nothing to do with me being a woman, its that he thought it was ok to say this. Its not acceptable to try to intimidate anyone, and that's what he did. Not once but twice.
Hands up who thought he was going to slap her??
No, thought there'd be no takers. I just can't believe so many people are getting worked up on behalf of this reporter! It was clearly a joke, it was not said in a threatening manner and wasn't perceived so by the person involved.
If you can't understand this point of view, I'd suggest you nip to Tesco, stock up on provisions, don your shiny helmet and hide in the bunker at the bottom of the garden as the world is scary place these days.
Please get this into perspective, Moyes has taken up more column inches these last few days than the terrorist atrocity in St Petersburg, but hey ho, them Russians want a war so let's just leave them to it and be offended by everything and anything trivial like this
