According to Private Eye, Tom Horan, the editor of the Torygraph’s review section knocked female subordinate Gaby Wood to the ground at Victoria station.

He had allegedly been having an affair with her and another young Torygraph hackette at the same time. Commuters carried out a citizens’ arrest and summoned the police. After six hours in the cells, the sleazy Tom Horan was released on police bail.

What was the response at the Torygraph?

Complete inaction and silence . . . she was after all, "Only a young filly" :rolleyes:
 
It has very little to do with what paper he worked at, or what their necessary positions were. It is simply a man knocking a woman he had been sleeping with to the floor with his laptap bag. I say simple, I do not mean it is right, quite the opposite. You are not meant to hit a woman.

Possibly so. I don't know where you work or even if you do work.

However, I find it a little difficult to believe that at any of the organisations at which I have worked it would happen that someone were to batter ANY colleague to the ground, get arrested for it and not be punished severely. I would not be surprised if it was classified as "gross misconduct" and led to instant dismissal.

I guess that it may in fact have something to do with misogynistic attitudes at the Torygraph :confused:

Final year economics student ;). It all happened in their personal time. If he knocked her over at work then sure there should be repercussions. He hasn't been convicted of anything and so his employer needed do anything.

I would also question your use of "batter". To me that is repeated hits, but from how I read the article he swung his laptop bag at her and that knocked her over.
 
I suspect the reason the Telegraph hasn't taken any action at the moment is simple.
Either the victim didn't want to take it further, in which case if it happened outside of work the paper probably doesn't have much it can legally do.
Or the Paper is waiting to see what the facts are, and what the Police do, as legally I suspect they would be on very dicey ground if they took any action without knowing the facts or having some form on official complaint.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

There is no legal reason for the paper to do anything yet. Much like why the government hasn't done anything in regards to BSkyB and the NotW.

True. Does it annoy people just as much when they read the same sort of play on words headlines in publications?

It just seems rather concentrated by Stockhausen as it's the main (sole?) topic he posts about :)

Ahhhh so.

What you are saying is that an employer should not be overly concerned if one of their employees flattens a colleague at Victoria station and gets detained by outraged commuters and put in a police cell for six hours just so long as neither the flattened junior employee or the Police choose to do anything :confused:

I guess that you and the Torygraph probably share the same enlightened attitude to domestic violence? If the victim doesn't complain, it's cool :rolleyes:

if i do something outside of work that can be considering bringing my employer into disrepute I can get sacked for this, it isnt exactly positive for the torygraph to have this splashed about
 
As **** as saying Torygraph is, and it really is annoying. It's not as bad as 'news of the screws' which makes even less sense and is massively cringeworthy. Same with Halfrauds and Microshaft etc you'd have to be a massive ******* to use them as the OP has.
