LibDem MEP Chris Davies doesn’t really get it:

“A good man has been publicly destroyed through the media with the apparent support of Nick Clegg. It is completely out of proportion, nonsense and outrageous.This isn’t Jimmy Savile. This is touching someone’s leg six years ago at a meeting through clothing. This is the equivalent of a few years ago an Italian man pinching a woman’s bottom. How much more must this man be made to suffer through the media condemnation that comes out day after day fed by the party leadership? I’ve known Chris since he was 17, his wife for about the same time… I can’t believe how much they’ve suffered in the past year. And these people just want to go on and on. For what? I mean haven’t they had their pound of flesh?”
