I am confused here. Fellows was charged with perverting the course of justice. But the Jury in his case has now found him to be not guilty.

So where does that leave us ? If the Jury believed him, than it should follow that they believed that he WAS groped by Ken Clarke.

More to the point, where does this leave Clarke ?

//Hardly amounts to a sexual assault//

If the victim was female groping would be considered sexual assault - as Dave Lee Travers discovered.

Well, if Fellows was so ruddy traumatised by it, he should have complained at the time. I think there is a bit of gold-digging going on here.

Read Jackthehats post.

Mikey, doesn't that apply to some women too?

Very odd, don't know quite what to think. It seemed obvious that Fellows was a fantasist. ~The jury thought differently and may have had access to information which we don't.

I've never liked Ken Clarke, but this leaves him in a very difficult position - to be honest, my deep- feeling is that he doesn't deserve to be in this position.

The law is an ass, or a*se? innit?

Mikey should be asking why he doesnt understand more about the principles of English criminal law

They didnt prove Ben F perverted the course of justice beyond reasonable doubt

why did they bring the case ? because they thought they could ( prove it beyond reasonable doubt )

Does it mean that mystic meg and ken clarke are secret lovers ? nope
does it mean Ken or Ben or Mrs Mopp lied ? nope
does it mean that it will rain tomorrow ? nope
and so on and so on
