Suddenly I’m asked the question - am I serious about Boris Johnson?

I reply - oh yes.

I remember some years ago, after the Milly Dowler phone hacking scandal broke, I predicted on here that this would see the News of the World shut down. When, a few months later, it was, I got literally hundreds of calls from media people asking - how did I know? The answer; it was obvious.
I did not KNOW. But everything pointed to it; especially as Surrey Police, of whom I had first hand experience, were involved.

It will happen, probably, after the final two Tory contenders have been chosen and before the fiasco of Tory membership selects the next leader.

Tories really do not like paedophiles. Labour tolerates them and LibDems actually prefer them.

I’m sure BoJo is not a paedophile, just as I know I’m not one, but that doesn’t matter, as I’ve found to my cost. However that is the crucial ingredient required by anyone anxious to kill off a Johnson win.

Simple affairs out of wedlock and illegitimate offspring don’t matter anymore, as Donald Trump found. Neither (thanks to my generation) does being gay, anymore. Even skin colour is acceptable and, going back centuries, you can even be Jewish and become PM. Someone, probably a female but possibly a male, needs to be found who claims they were under 16 when assaulted by Boris. Preferably they should have met him when he was around in Henley or Eton or Uxbridge or London or at the Oxford Union or somewhere. Preferably they should have spent time with him though that’s not essential.
There are millions of Jemma Beales out there and thousands of “Nicks”.

Boris is charismatic and attractive with a roving eye and suspect morals. It only needs one person of either gender to make allegations about when they were 15 and they will be believed. Police will investigate. Media will carry the story (which currently they are nervous about initiating). Hundreds more will then emerge out of the woodwork (they always do).
Why? Well there’s a fortune in it, of course. Media interview fees. The book. Bravely waiving anonymity.

In the current climate it is absolutely inevitable. In fact I will be astonished if it doesn’t happen. The only question will be - will it be before or after he’s Prime Minister? On that I reckon Boris only stands a chance if Rory Stewart is elected to run against him; Rory strikes me as the only candidate not prepared to use such weapons. Anyone else (and one in particular springs to mind) is probably organising it right now.

Funnily enough, I said exactly the same thing this evening, when my husband announced that "Boris cant be stopped now."

Your great insights almost rival mine JK and that is the best compliment one can give.

I'd make one point though..I'm of a "left" persuasion politically ( Champagne Socialist- I want everyone to be able to afford it or more importantly. buy it for me ) but I've found the 'left' seem to be the most intolerant of alleged peedeofiles and the "right" far more tolerant of those whose alleged sexuality may not be of the "norm". In that, it's nearly always Conservative politicians who demand people be afforded the right to the Presumption of Innocence.

Nothing more examples this than the almost vicious attacks in Oz on George Pell by left leaning politicians while the right has not necessarily supported him, rather asked he be accorded all the rights of anyone accused of a crime.

There are numerous examples in the UK.

Apart from the utterly ghastly opportunist Tom Watson..have we ever heard any UK Labour politician express a single word of support for the likes of Harvey Proctor, the late Ted Heath or even Lord Bramall

Not a single word. The 'left' avoid this subject like the plague.
