"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned . . "

Paul Gambaccini, the writer and broadcaster has produced a book, highlighting his experience of being under arrest and on police bail for over a year, for claimed offences of indecency. Then he was exonerated. The accuser(s) have not been brought to book.
I don't have the funds to afford Mr.Gambaccini's book to appreciate fully his take on events. Normally, I am somewhat scathing of a 'celebrity' writing books telling the world how hurt they are by experiences. I normally see this as 'their' good money spinner or a mechaisim to revitalising their flagging career.
Having seen the tame and polite interview on ITV's 'Loose Women' programme on the 15th September earlier in the day, I really concluded that it was the 'softly softly' magazine approach towards police action. This was much away from the emotion I expected. What transpired later in the day was the show was just a warm up to many interviews of the day.
BBC's 'Newnight' opened its show with a piece about the policies of Mr.Corbyn as leader of the labour party, this was the main story of the night. This was then followed by a female solicitor, who was given nearly 8 minutes of interview air time about a considered 'sexiest' comment on her professional profile website. Wow, this was clearly a case of 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned' and the BBC had decided this was of greater importance to the world than ISIS latest gains in Syria, the mounting crisis of migrant/refugees overwhelming Europe or the murder of a woman in the Midlands.
This was followed by the revelations that Paul Gambaccinni had written his book and he was interviewed by Evan Davis. Given only 5 minutes of interview time, it was clear that he was very angry and frustrated. His body language and his statement about the police were not humbled. But, at least there was a token jesture of air time, by the BBC.
Paul Gambaccinni has already given his voice and time to a public enquiry arguing that bail times should be limited and the Home Secretary has added this recommendation to police acts. Hopefully, using his status, Paul Gambaccinni will be taking a more pro-active role in getting justice for the many whose lives have fallen into despair.
Well done Paul.
