That is not something you or I will never know, and shouldn't ask. It's used as a pathetic defence by people with no other argument to save their hero, but not one they usually trot out when the accused is someone like Jimmy Savile. It is like war veterans who won't talk about what they witnessed for decades, and then a grandchild
asks the right question and it just triggers a release. No-one knows why, and is irrelevant to what is said - all that matters is whether it is true or not, not why they kept it to themselves for personal reasons.

Are you really putting this, be it true or not, in the same bracket as Savile or a war veteran? Honestly?

I'm putting the question of when victims choose to reveal their stories in the same bracket, yes. I suspect you are trying to suggest I am putting the 'crimes' in the same bracket because that is all you can do. I'm not, that's a stupid suggestion.

Could it be that there is a growing pile of evidence that he is unfit to be PM and so this helps to further illustrate the point?
Unless you are Monica Lewinski who kept a dress covered in stains for long period of time and did not wash it.

I think it is more of an exaggeration of an action that I would think nearly every single male in their young days have done with no malice or great sexual connotation attached.

A crime so heinous the victim didn't mention it at the table as they might put the other guests off their tiramisu

Well let's throw that back ( also can't believe in this day and age anyone asks the question any more )
Why do you think she never made the accusations 20 years ago ?
So here is one (FAR LESS SERIOUS
)I was working in a studio over 20 years ago and a presenter of the time turned up completely rat-arsed. He stood in the only doorway to the studio on the phone.
He refused to let me leave the studio, to the extent he kept moving from side to side to stop me get round him.
I was stuck there for 30 mins When he had finished the phone call he let me out with a theoretical wave of his hand. My previous option would have been for me to force-ably shove him to one side.
Why didn't I ? I would have been scared of losing my job. This wasn't a building site or a pub....
So unlike you I'm not going to pass judgement on a women who has years later to detail some pathetic male power game from the 90s. In any case you wouldn't understand, you've never moved in those circles.

She voted remain, perhaps, and cannot abide not getting her own way?
Because it meant nothing to her at the time....but now with all the sexual accusations in the headlines and the fact he is prime minister she can be propelled into the limelight.

It's amazing anyone even asks that question these days.
1) It's her boss
2) He has power over her.
3) She is frightened of losing her job
4) It was viewed as "normal" by some men at the time and nothing would have happened if she had complained.
Where would she go HR ? The company wouldn't have even had one back then.
It's astonishing that in this day and age that people STILL dismiss allegations of sexual touching / assault because "nothing was said at the time".
You do realise that Boris Johnson and Brexit are not one and the same thing? Just how much are you prepared to turn a blind eye to, so that you get your own way?
What a load of bollocks...Do you live in the real world ? Do you really think it`s coincidence that she`s come out with these allegations now ? if so you are deluded.

I guess Boris grabbed her by the pussy. Not on the pussy. Just by it.
