UK: Ex-husband of Labour's domestic abuse Minister 'still has nightmares about her' after attack during divorce

Article here. Excerpt:

'Labour’s Shadow Minister for domestic violence was an ‘abusive bully’ who terrified her former husband and cost him £200,000 in their divorce settlement, a friend claimed last night.

Sarah Champion admitted yesterday that she was arrested and cautioned by police after attacking explorer Graham Hoyland during their ‘very acrimonious’ divorce in 2007.

But the Rotherham MP – who faced calls to resign last night – told a national newspaper the violent bust-up came after she had been ‘provoked for years’ by Mr Hoyland.

Miss Champion, 47, who had ended up in a police cell, claimed the altercation was over who would keep a valuable painting. She said: ‘I’m not proud of what happened and I accept I was in the wrong, but I have nothing to hide.’'

I find it interesting how left-leaning parties have no problem with choosing violent women to handle the task of reducing domestic violence, and spreading awareness. Well, I guess, in all fairness violent women are good at increasing public awareness of DV's existence, by being living proof of it as abusers.

The exact same thing is going on in the U.S. with Hillarity.

Needless to say, isn't appointing a violent person to be in charge of DV-related campaigns and resources kind of like appointing the Hulk to be in charge of an anger management class?
