I have looked at the video again and you are right. The couple clearly have issues - perhaps alcoholism or something else. Anyway, I have removed it. Good call.

Two alcoholics arguing in the street, with the male participant standing meekly as his other half berates him and assaults him. Imagine for a moment if the roles were reversed. Would you find it funny to see a woman being attacked in the street? Would you applaud the nosy neighbours for videoing through their net curtains without making any attempt to intervene? Sorry Peter, I think you need to look elsewhere for examples of humour in newspapers (and on websites) and the Nottingham Post should think again about putting this video up, with the scantiest of covering stories. I know I will come across as a po-faced Guardianista for expressing these sentiments, but I can assure you I am neither.
