This is a normal post If there was no suggestion Ferrari has been beating his wife
why didn't Ferrari just say "I don't beat my wife" then the union guy would've had to answer his question trapped by his own bizarre logic

This is a normal post I think saying he doesn't have a wife pretty much did that.

This is a normal post The Union bloke is making a point
about unfair questions.

The "When did you stop beating your wife?" question is an example used to teach lawyers, etc., about what counts as an unfair question. The imputation is clearly that you used to beat your wife at some point. The fairer question would be "Did you ever beat your wife?".

Unfortunately, he comes across as a bit of a nutter because a) not everyone gets the reference, and b) well... he just comes across as a bit of a nutter.

This is a normal post I get the point
"Did he, as is reported, fail the breath test?" is not a loaded question, it's pretty straight forward

This is a normal post We don't know if that was the qestion, though.
The report is edited so that, at best, there is no context to the question 'Have you stopped beating your wife?', or, a worse scenario, edited to appear it was in response to the question 'Did he, as is reported, fail the breath test?' which is a question we know was asked, but whether or not it prompted the tirade is unclear.
