My words:
"He has also had allegations of being a sex pest levelled against him..."
What I said is factually correct. I haven't made any allegation against him, simply described what has happened. Perhaps the women concerned were making it all up? I have no idea. Some people do lie about such things. Perhaps Bridgen thought he was doing the right thing but had been misled? Or not, maybe got the wrong end of the stick so badly that he was willing to go to court over it? If the fellow in question isn't a creep then I'm glad he's had his name cleared.
Either way, his behaviour is very odd. He's changing party a few months before an election he, according to Brickadear, doesn't intend to stand in... it is just a very strange thing to do. He could've done it a year ago, two years ago, indeed, he might never have joined the Tories at all if he is even more left wing than they are. But no, he does it now. And utters a load of gobbledegook to explain why... something or other about nationalism - regarding a party that is ashamed of this country and doesn't know how to control borders. And the Tory manifesto has, for every single election in recent memory, proposed to reduce illegal immigration and he happily signed up to that.
So, rightly or wrongly, I see another totally untrustworthy arsehole who isn't worth listening to and who shouldn't be making any decisions on our behalf and at our expense. Will fit in well in the Labour party, supposedly for a few months, just as he fitted in with the Tories.
