Sally Bercow isn’t one to receive the easiest of media perceptions. Since that ever so famous shot of her posing wrapped around nothing other than a duvet she has seemingly been the victim of a constantly negative media backlash. Her stint in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year led to apparent embarrassment, especially that for her husband, speaker, John Bercow. Whilst in the big brother house Sally sparked one of the most unlikeliest of friendships, with that of raw knuckle fighter and Big fat gypsy wedding’s star Paddy Doherty. Since leaving the show, the pair have remained the closest of friends and in January next year are even set to appear in their own Channel 5 reality show “When Paddy met Sally.”
The couple shall apparently live each other’s lives and show how the opposites really can literally attract. All that in mind, it is such a shame that in this latest instance Sally Bercow has dramatically gone down in my estimation.
Miss Bercow has pleaded that MR Doherty is spared jail after he admitted affray following a bare-knuckle brawl which police linked to an underworld shooting.
The 42-year-old went into describing Doherty as 'quite a softie' adding: 'I would very much hope the sentence is suspended'.
Doherty is set to be sentenced in early 2012.
He was left bloodied and bruised with part of his ear bitten and hanging off after he took on his cousins Johnny and Dougie Joyce in a street fight outside a PC World store in Manchester.
The brawl was filmed on a mobile phone and uploaded onto YouTube with a witness was overheard baying for blood shouting: 'Come you dirty Doherty b******, give it to him Johnny, give to the dirty tramp, floor the dirty tramp.'
During the video a blood-spattered Doherty was seen perched on his toes like a boxer, grunting 'like a bull' and holding his fists up to protect himself as he landed in a heap with Johnny Joyce.
Doherty admitted affray after the brawl and had been expected to give evidence against his cousin Johnny, who was accused of causing him grievous bodily harm.
The GBH charges against Johnny Joyce, 21, were dropped. Instead, he and his 23-year-old brother Dougie - who filmed the violence on a mobile phone - and Doherty were all charged with affray. Doherty has pleaded guilty at Manchester Crown Court.
My thoughts on that of the travellers lifestyle and petty little things such as somebody “disrespecting” each other I think is best left unsaid by me, otherwise I think i would be the victim of becoming liable! What I shall simply say is that Sally Bercow is coming across as nothing other than rather dim. She hasn’t said directly, but it seems she is defending this disgusting human being for his actions? This wasn’t just the average attack in the street, or the average attack with a glass bottle... this was raw, filthy and blood thirsty despicable and tremendously vile. The roughest of the roughest and seemingly the types of people to do such things are the lowest of the low possible. All forms of attacks whether that be in pubs, on the streets or in the home are which ever way you look at it completely unacceptable and quite frankly anybody who commits such a crime should be locked behind bars with the key firmly thrown away. In the example of Paddy Doherty, should this “Monster” to use a somewhat basic description even be allowed as a television personality?
He is utterly vile beyond belief. No insane human being would attack such a person in this way and this type of action quite appropriately summarises Doherty’s culture right down to the bitter end. Sally Bercow needs to be careful with when and where she decides to open her mouth and quote such pathetic nonsense. The likes of Paddy Doherty should not be able to roam free, human rights should not apply and quite simply mixing in jail with people of a similar mind I would deem to be the most suitable punishment as I’m afraid anybody with some form of basic intelligence would intimidate MR Doherty no end as I’m afraid he has zilch. Maybe Miss Bercow could prance around and pose with another bed sheet? Maybe even a commercial for desperateness perhaps? At the moment it seems craving a showbiz lifestyle is all that Sally Bercow seeks. Maybe her media label of “desperate” has been right all along?
