MP Caroline Noakes has accused him of touching her inappropriately at the Conservative Party conference in 2003.Dreadful man but why wait until now? https://news.sky.com/story/amp/stanley-johnson-accused-of-inappropriately-touching-senior-conservative-mp-12469482

Because now, finally, women are being listened to and are no longer expected to put up with this sort of behaviour.

2003?
Gosh she must have been very traumatised leaving it till now

Your sisterhood subscription seems to have lapsed, Bobbisox.

Anyway, like father, like son, randy goats with little style or grace.

[davebro]

How come only the rich & famous are being accused of these historical misdemeanours? Oh wait...

[naomi24]

Poor woman seems to have coped well enough despite spending almost 20 years concealing her deep dark secret.

[dannyk13]

Nothing like kicking a man(Boris) when he is down.

[Bobbisox1]

Dougie I often feel there’s either a book in the offing or similar , what I don’t understand is her leaving this for 18 years before coming out with it , if she can prove it then yes there should be some kind of recourse ,

[Khandro]

Poor thing, struggling for 19 years to get it out.

In what way is the PM 'down', Danny?

[dannyk13]

Apparently another woman has also made a complaint against him:-

Douglas //In what way is the PM 'down', Danny?//
In the polls.

[Ken4155]

Is that better or worse than 'down in the dumps', Danny? :-))
I have a feeling that were it Jezza she had accused, some of you would be singing a different hymn :-/

[naomi24]

Douglas //In what way is the PM 'down', Danny?//

Could be something to do with people like you who are so very eager to put the boot in by saying:

//like father, like son, randy goats with little style or grace.//

[Stickybottle]

Another one leaving it for decades before deciding they want their 15 minutes

[barry1010]

She has not claimed to be traumatised or struggling in any way.
If she had reacted in 2003 at the time it happened who knows how it might have affected her career. I've seen too many women given the cold shoulder or had their career held back because they 'can't take a joke' or worse.
davebro, if my wife contacted the paper and said Joe Smith from next door had touched her inappropriately do you think it would make the news? Even if she reported it to the police it wouldn't make the news. That's why we only hear about famous people who do this sort of thing.

[douglas9401]

Thanks for that, though I did get the impression that you didn't have much time for polls but there you go.

Poor Boris, and indeed his touchy parent.

[Bazile]

If it's true why should it not be known ; whether it's been 18 or 118 years since ?

I would hazard a guess that there are quite a few women who have suffered a sexual assault and have kept it a secret for years

[douglas9401]

'People like me'.

You do like to flip-flop twixt snooty besom and salt-of-the-earth, only here for the laughs geezer bird, Naomi.

Please wipe me from the sole of your shoe.

[dannyk13]

Naomi, people like me? When have I ever put the boot in to anyone?

Read it again danny. It was referencing/quoting someone's post
