Yes, it’s depressingly common that people stand by convicted child abusers (and similar).
Without wanting to offend anyone I would guess most men with histories similar to Eric Joyce are very good at manipulating people.
I would also guess that despite India being a rich, educated and connected woman, her past relationship failures combined with other aspects of her life may have made her particularly insecure and possibly co-dependent.
Add it all up and I can see it as a plausible reason, although obviously it’s all conjecture and armchair psychology on my part.
Whatever the truth is, thank god her daughter has moved out.
Oh and India had the gall to mention how worried she is about her daughter starting back at school (Covid reasons, obviously) in her column today.
Absolute fraud.
