Michael Fabricant inadvertently let the cat out of the bag on GB News today by referring to the 'young person' as a 'he'. That was quickly disclaimed by the interviewer. Hmmmm!

I think with the second accuser and the evidence seen by the BBC reporter the Sun will go for it tomorrow, thinking they can win the court case. “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn
