There are a few things about the Charlotte Edwardes allegations of a Boris grope 20 years ago that we find, if not extremely odd, then certainly very disturbing.
First of all she is, we are reliably informed, a remainer and there are only 30 days to go before Brexit finally happens – with Boris in charge. Strange timing we think to bring up an incident that allegedly happened 20 years ago.
Secondly, the allegation happens just before the Conservative Party Conference. Strange timing again eh?
Thirdly, this is the FIRST article she has written for the Sunday Times. Strange it should contain such explosive content.
Fourthly, why hasn’t she mentioned this before ANYWHERE? She is, after all supposed to be a journalist. Is she seriously saying that at no time in the 20 years passed, that none of her articles would have not had cause to at least mention the fact? Even anonymously?
No, the whole thing reeks of lies, dirty tricks, innuendo, and unfounded calumnies. As we said last week, this is yet another attempt by the un-democrats to make some mud stick and undermine Brexit and democracy even further.
It will be interesting to see if, after all this time, she actually makes a complaint. Our bet is she won’t, because at the end of the day it is her word against his – and after 20 years a totally unprovable allegation.
