When I first read the headline Woman who accused Tory MP of sexual assault claims her life has been ‘destroyed’... I was saddened for Annabelle Fuller, the 29 years old at the center of the Andrew Bridgen MP sexual assault allegation where the charges have already been dropped.

However, reading further my sadness gradually turned to loathing and by the end of the article I started to wonder if Mr. Bridgen was the victim of an elaborate con!

As a mother of two young ladies and someone who still dates – there are a few dating cardinal rules the first and most important of them all is – You do not go to a strangers’ flat / room – PERIOD – and if you do you are taking a huge risk as big as leaving your drink unattended in a club!

So what was Annabelle Fuller doing in a stranger’s flat? Specially – according to her own account – when she did not know who he is until she saw a letter on the table – but still in her “confused and uncomfortable state” she fled the flat shoeless – but not before having the presence of mind to grab his Commons’ Pass and BlackBerry!?

Then it turns out she works for UKIP’s leader Nigel Farage!!

I’m sorry but something doesn’t add up here.

I was very happy yesterday to hear that the father of two, Tory MP Andrew Bridgen was cleared over claims he sexually assaulted a 29 year- old woman and that all charges and the case against him is dropped after the complainant admitted no offence had taken place.

However, at the same time I was deeply dismayed that we are fast developing a culture of shoot first then ask questions later. And turning into a society venomously hungry for other peoples’ blood – and enthusiastically ready ‘before properly probing’ to assume people are guilty when our laws stipulates every person is innocent until proven otherwise!

Mr. Bridgen’s name and details should never have been released to the public before there was a solid case against him. Furthermore, why is it okay for his personal life to be picked apart while the lady in question still enjoys anonymity – what does that type of discrimination say about us and our sense of justice and fair play?

Nevertheless, I am encouraged to know that the North West Leicestershire MP who had vigorously denied the allegation was considering legal action, as he should. Hope his case puts an end to this unfair senseless practice that has no place in our judiciary or this country.
