Discussion

The party have gone straight to apologise as well, rather than an attempt to defend his reputation.
There seems to have been an instant and total admission of guilt.
It all seems very strange. I usually don't like the accusation = definite guilt culture that is creeping in through the media (mass and social) - but the writing is definitely on the wall vis a vis his guilt if no one is contesting it.
But it does make you wonder why, when you natural instinct would surely to be to defend your loved ones reputation....

If the wife didn't know about it why is she apologising straight away - after all these were only allegations at this stage however her instant apology has essentially corroborated the accusations.

And the wife bedded Will Self's 16 yo brother reportedly.

I have no time for either of the people you mention, but to call either of them pseudo-intellectual is frankly a bit silly.Did Will Self know Freud, they both had/have the same affectatious pseudo-intellectual drawl?
