As the ever more acrimonious divorce of Lady Heather Mills and Sir Paul McCartney trundles on, Heather Mills has taken to the airwaves in the US to claim that she has the full support of the British public in her fight for a fair divorce settlement.

If Ms Mills is so sure that she has the support of the British public, why did she run to America to announce this?

Each new day seems to bring a new claim and counter claim from the warring factions, although with potential assets of £800 million up for grabs, this may explain why Ms Mills appears to be using every tactic to hand. While Sir Paul’s adviser have kept a dignified silence for some time, the Heather Mills camp seem to be taking on every photo opportunity, and every TV appearance to publicise their side of the story.

While there has been no recent comment from Sir Paul McCartney’s aides, a number of his high profile celebrity friends have been active in the newspapers rebuffing some of the more serious claims apparently leaked to the press. Recent comments regarding Sir Paul’s earlier marriage to Linda McCartney, who tragically died of cancer, have certainly turned up the heat on the situation.

As the fight goes on, there appears to be only one winner with the lawyers from both side set to claim thousands upon thousands of pounds to “wash their client’s dirty linen in public”. Its does not take a mastermind to see that just prior to stepping into court to argue a settlement, each camp will decide to settle out of court – both parties appear to have private matters which they would not like discussed in an open forum.
