Or, what you did here was bring in context. There is zero flaw with your argument. You make a valid legal case for why this doesn’t constitute assault of any kind.

The more important question is this…. Should Simon be believed without question at the point he makes his accusation? Should guilt be attributed to Daphne in the public sphere on his word alone? Should guilt be inferred before you make this compelling legalistic argument in her defence, or after?

I know what the answer is when it comes to Simon, but I’m not convinced that many who read this will apply the same ethical code across the board.

Good take down. Great argument. Very funny. Your honour, Lady Daphne should’ve read the subtitles!
