Alan Milburn was first married to to Dr. Barbara O'Toole who was an MEP until she lost her seat in June 2004. They had very strong and differing views on men beating up their wives.
Alan feels strongly about Freedom of Speech ... on his website he says ..."Freedom of Speech is vital to British society. So I understand why some might be concerned about the right to say things with which others disagree passionately. I support that right and regard it as a fundamental part of a free society. Let’s be clear - criticising, causing offence, even ridiculing, is not the same as stirring up hatred. " he goes on to say The law should only care about those who cross the clear boundary between passionate debate and vicious prejudice.
So now you know -passion can descend to viciousness - take care.
