Oh that seems to be out the window Cherie.
Mind you it has been for ages as to people at the lower end of society.

Now however an allegation,just a few words,not even a reported incident to the Police,can now just about bring down anyone in politics or show business etc.

A worrying development indeed in my view as to trial now by allegation and media.

This is true.It’s getting ridiculous now.Anybody can phone the BBC or whatever channel and complain about a presenter they don’t like touching their leg in a bar 30 years ago the accused gets suspended and their name dragged through the gutter.
Some of the Westminster things seem totally ridiculous.One was somebody sent a message inviting a woman to the cinema iirc.
It’s totally devaluing real victims of assault.
